1855 Upper Canada.
1855 Upper Canada.
Upper Canada became the destination for most of the Loyalists where, many were given land grants. On November 9, 1789, Lord Dorchester issued an order in council that honored the Loyalists and differentiated them from later settlers and immigrants. He allowed them to append their name with the initials "U.E." as a salute to their adherence to "the Unity of the Empire". More commonly these settlers became known as United Empire Loyalists. The term has since come to include those who settled in the Maritimes region prior to the creation of America in 1783.

Also Lord Dorchester's order granted the sons and daughters of Loyalist settlers 200 acres of free land when they turned 21 years old. Daughters could claim their land early if they married before turning 21.

He was a contractor by trade so, he had the skills and shop space needed to build Chanute's gliders. it was an ideal location because a short trip to the southern end of lake Michigan provided the sand dunes, weather and isolation needed for testing. The first testing was done in September of 1896 on the lake shore in Indiana. Avery had the longest verified flight.

1904 Flight.
1904 Flight.
The performance at the fair was nothing short of outstanding. It seemed to prize was destine to be Avery's. Unfortunately before it was wrapped up the tow rope broke before it should have been released. This resulted in a hard landing in which Avery sprained his ankle bad enough to end his participation in the competition. In a few short years the success of the Wright brothers accelerated aviation development to the point it was no longer being done by amateurs out of their home shops.

There are many places where reproductions of this glider can be seen. The original glider was disassembled and shipped to France where it still is at the Musee de L'Air et de L'Espace at Paris, France.
