John Richardson (1796 1852) was a British Army officer and the first Canadianborn novelist to achieve international recognition. During the War of 1812, he was imprisoned for a year in the United States after his capture during the battle of Moraviantown. Hardscrabble or the fall of Chicago is a tale of Indian warfare. Unlike the stereotypical Indians of Fenimore Coopers frontier tales, Richardsons Indians are portrayed in a more complex manner. It is possible Richardson had read an 1844 pamphlet about the Hardscrabble massacre before writing this novel. His story is based loosely on this event and the events surrounding the war of 1812.
