In our final mini-sode, Nic digs into the legend of Rough Bruin, a bear that served as an enemy combatant onboard the HMS Detroit. We learn about Rough Bruin’s exploits during the battle, and Nic speculates as to what Rough Bruin’s post-war life may have looked like. This episode features a special, albeit extremely brief, cameo by historian Shane Allan.
