Hi Larry:

In Canada we have Laura Secord (Yes, the chocolates are names after her). She was to Canada what Paul Revere was to the United States, except that, tending her cows on the Niagara peninsula during the War of 1812, she ran to warn the troops that "the Americans are coming, the Americans are coming."
