It is believed that "The Bold Canadian" was written by a private from the Third York Militia's First Flank Company named Cornelius Flummerfelt, who wrote the lines while marching in the Detroit campaign, or on the way back to York, Upper Canada.[1] The song was used to further increase the numbers of Canadian militia to fight during the war.[2]
Although composed in late 1812, the first publication of the song was not until 1907, when the Niagara Historical Society printed part of the song in a pamphlet about Isaac Brock.[1] Until 1907, the song was passed down in oral traditions; therefore, different versions of the song came to be. Full versions of the song were not published until 1927 when the Ontario Historical Society published two different versions of the song. In 1960, a third version was published; all three varied, with different stanzas and order of stanzas.[1]

Although unpublished, the song remained popular in Canada throughout the nineteenth century, while a comparable American song, "The Hunters of Kentucky", lost its popularity by the end of the Jacksonian Era.[3][4]
One of several songs on Wolfe, it was common on 19th centurybroadsides, from about the 1830s. Roud has 42 instances of this song, almostall from the south of England and, with about three exceptions, all fromSuffolk or Sussex. The Copper family, Pop Maynard and Shepherd Haydon allsang it. It has also been noted in Canada, occasionally in USA, but not inScotland or Ireland.

General Wolfe was 32 years old when he died in 1759 while leading the siegeof Quebec City at the Battle of the Plains of Abraham. He is supposed to havelived long enough to have realised the victory, which led to British dominanceo f Cape Breton and the beginning of [the] end of French influence in NorthAmerica generally. There are many broadsides of Nelson and Wolfe, and it maybe that their demise at the height of their careers gave them a romanticquality popular with singers and listeners alike. This is a belligerentlypro-Wolfe song, with much im perialist bravado and pride. It is not admired bythe French Canadians.
