DENISON, GEORGE TAYLOR (1839- )

This article appears in Volume V08, Page 22 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DEM-DIO
DENISON, GEORGE TAYLOR (1839- ) , Canadian soldier and publicist, was born in Toronto on the 31st of August 1839. In 1861 he was called to the bar, and was from 1865-1867 a member of the city council. From the first he took a prominent
part
  in the organization of the military forces of Canada, becoming a
lieutenant
 -colonel in the active militia in 1866. He saw active service during the Fenian raid of 1866, and during the rebellion of 1885. Owing to his dissatisfaction with the conduct of the Conservative ministry during the Red River Rebellion in 1869-7o, he abandoned that party, and in 1872 unsuccessfully contested Algoma in the Liberal
interest
 . Thereafter he remained free from party ties. In 1877 he was appointed police
magistrate
  of Toronto. Colonel Denison was one of the founders of the " Canada First " party, which did much to shape the national aspirations from 187o to 1878, and was a consistent supporter of imperial federation and of preferential
trade
  between
Great
  Britain and her colonies. He became a member of the Royal Society of Canada, and was president of the section dealing with
English
  history and 'literature. The best known of his military works is his History of Modern Cavalry (London, 1877), which was awarded first prize by the
Russian
  government in an open competition and has been translated into German,
Russian
  and Japanese. In 1900 he published his reminiscences under the title of Soldiering in Canada.
