Vermont Physicians and the Canadian Rebellion of 1837
|
| Abstract |
The author discusses the activities of a number of doctors who were active in the Patriote cause while living in the Champlain Valley in 1837 and 1838. Emphasis is placed on the activities of the Montreal-born surgeon Robert Nelson (1794-1873) who was elected general of the Patriote army and president-in-exile of the hoped-for Lower Canadian republic while living in Vermont after the failure of the 1837 uprising. Nelson was the leader of the failed November 1838 uprising, a military fiasco which saw Nelson flee back to the United States during the battle at Odelltown, south of Lacolle, Quebec. He remained in the United States, even though he was eventually pardoned for his part in the rebellion.
