Guelph Mercury Reviews To Stand and Fight Together

On Saturday, To Stand and Fight Together: Richard Pierpoint and the Coloured Corps of Upper Canada by Steve Pitt was included in the Guelph Mercury’s round up of new youth titles.

“Spilling with fascinating facts and photos, this book celebrates the bravery of a small group of men who faced terrible discrimination in their battle for freedom.”
