The New Declaration recounts the historic visit of the Sixth Fusiliers of Montreal to St. Albans, Vermont, on July 4th, 1878. This event marked the first time British armed troops participated in the celebration of American Independence Day, symbolizing a moment of reconciliation and renewed friendship between the United States and Great Britain after years of strained relations. Frederick Hamilton's record details the warm reception given to the Canadian soldiers by the citizens of St. Albans, highlighting the speeches, ceremonies, and expressions of goodwill that characterized the occasion. This volume offers a unique glimpse into the evolving dynamics between the two nations and the shared desire for lasting peace and cooperation during the late 19th century.
