Baker public Relations Officer Branch 156 GAVE ALL FOR ADOPTED COUNTRY Colonel Anthony VanEgrnond an experienced soldier who came to Canada in 1827 was to become one of this country's foremost pioneers. He was largely re- sponsible for opening up Huron County' for the early settlers. The Governxnei.t of Upper Canada of that day was des- cribed as a , Family Compact , corrupt and • indifferent to the needs of the people. Colonel VanEgmond very. much aware of the plight of the ordinary people and disgusted with the government's actions, ran for a seat in the Assembly. In this he, failed. •, Very much against revolut- ion but knowing something had to be done, he reluctantly shared , the view of William Lyon Mac- kenzie, that in order to achieve responsible gevernnient, the present government would have to be deposed by armed , force. William Lyon Mackenzie who was a confirmed rebel, contacted Colonel. VanEgmond to ask him to command a regiment in an attack against the Government forces. VanEgmond accepted, but when he arrived to take com- mand he found that the regiment consisted of only two hundred armed men instead of the four or five hundred promised. After a 'severe quarrel with Mackenzie, it was suggested by , VanEgmond that. a diversionary tactic should be made by his inferior force while waiting for ' reinforcements. There.are conflicting reports. regarding the final plan agreed upon, however history has re- corded the defeat of the rebel force, and' the capture of Colonel Van Egmond. .Not widely known is the fact that. Colonel Van Eg- mond could have averted capture had he not given up his horse tb William Lyon Mackenzie to make his get-away. We are told that Colonel Van- Egmond was a wealthy mad in his own right, but after imprison- Ment, stripped of all his posses- .. sion'S, he died on Dec. 30th, 183'7 a sick 'and broken man. His heroic action against a corrupt and wicked government was brought to the attention of the British authorities.
