| Title |
The Stanstead Militia, 1854-1914
|
| Abstract |
The author notes that since the official role of Canada’s militia was to defend Canada from the United States, an Eastern Townships border community like Stanstead, remote from Montreal and populated largely by Americans, posed a potential problem to nineteenth century Canadian militia authorities. The author's study of militia administration provides an original perspective on local social and political history, and Stanstead’s military evolution from a community whose local military expert, Colonel Alexander Kilborn, thought a volunteer militia unworkable is more revealing than most.
