How could a US citizen get free/cheap Canadian land if they fought on the US side of the RW? I'm going to have to do some more reading on this. Thanks so much for your help. I don't believe applying for a Crown Grant had anything to do with anything other than getting settlers into Upper Canada. If you were a Loyalist or fought for Britian in the War of 1812 you usually got a larger grant of land and probably better land.
