Laura Secord is known for her 20-mile journey on foot to warn the British of an impending attack by American forces in the War of 1812. Although the British commander, James Fitzgibbon, had already heard the same warning from Native scouts Secord has gained renown for her devotion.

Stories of her trip, mostly apocryphal, have made their way into Canadian folklore, including the notion that she brought a cow along as an excuse to travel in case stopped by American patrols.
