Laura Secord is a very memorable heroin. Her courage and bravery throughout the war has led many to give her incredible recognition. First, on September 8 1922, Canada post made 2 stamps to commemorate her. The stamps were pictures of her and her throughout the war. The first one was a picture of her walking through the forest. She wore a red dress, she had a brown hat tied around her neck with purple ribbon with the hat behind her and wore a white bonnet.
The second was her running through the woods wearing a long white dress with a brown cape and a white bonnet. Behind her to her left were 3 Indigenous people.
Next, the Ontario Provincial Plaque named the Laura Secord House in Queenston. The Laura Secord House was Laura and James home during the War Of 1812. It was partially destroyed but redone. You can still see some holes from where bullets could of been.
Next, the stone cut memorial given to Laura in 1911 is dedicated to her for saving her husband’s life at the battle of Queenston Heights her part in the british victory at general brock on the crest of Queenston.
Finally, 1913, Frank P. O’Connor started his own handmade chocolate business named Laura Secord to honor her. Mr O’Connor later quotes, “she was an icon of courage, devotion and loyalty.”
