Reviews
Through Water, Ice and Fire is a compelling story, a tale not just of an obscure ship rescued by the late Stan Rogers in a song, but of the War of 1812. If the war had been lost to the United States, we would all be Americans today. The Nancy represented one of the differences between victory and defeat. Forgotten for decades, the ship's bones became an innocent-looking island in the Nottawasaga. Until 1927, when she was unearthed by a vacationing Toronto dentist named F. J. Conboy. Today, the Nancy's hull rests in a glassed-in exhibit at Nancy Island Historic Site. Even if you have ever visited her, you can now read of the exploits of this historic schooner and her daring crew. Andrew Armitage, The Sun-Times, June 8th, 2006, "The strengths of this book lie in its thorough documentation and a familiarity, not only with the sources, but with the waters in which Nancy sailed." "Barry Gough has made another useful addition to the literature of the War of 1812." -- W.A.B.
