Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Canadian War of 1812 This book, intended to be an instalment of Canadian history, has been compiled as far as possible simply from the dispatches on both sides relating to the war. Nearly all of them will be found printed in one or other of the following books - The Annual Register; the Appendices to James's Naval and Military Occurrences of the war; Brannan's Oficial Letters of tne Military and Naval Oflicers of t/ze United States during the Wars wit/z Great Britain in tne Years 1812 to 1815, Washington City, 1823; and the Documentary History of the Campaigns upon tne Niagara Frontier, collected and edited for the Lundy's Lane His torical Society, by lieut.-col. E. Cruikshank, to whom students of the war owe a debt of gratitude. The different printed versions of the dispatches in these books do not always quite tally with each other. Among other Canadian books I have consulted Mr. Brymner's Reports on Canadian Archives; the second volume of Christie's History of tbe late Province of Lower Canada, 1849; Professor Hannay's History of tne War of 1812 and the eighth volume of Kingsford's History of Canada. Six out of the eight maps which accompany the letterpress are cotemporary American maps, which the Delegates of the Clarendon Press have been good enough to reproduce. They are from a little volume in the Colonial Office Library, entitled Military and Topograpnical Atlas of Me United States including tne Britisli Possessions and Florida, &c., by John M elish, Philadelphia, 1813. I wish to express my warm acknow ledgments to Mr. C. Atchley, Librarian of the Colonial Office, for constant and kindly help given to me in this as in other books.

Download or read book The War of 1812 written by Wesley B. Turner and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2000-05-01 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tragedy and farce, bravery and cowardice, intelligence and foolishness, sense and nonsense - all these contradictions and more have characterized the War of 1812. The real significance of the series of skirmishes that collectively made up the war between 1812 and 1814 is the enormous impact they have had on Canadian and American views of themselves and of each other. The publication of The War of 1812: The War That Both Sides Won in 1990 provided a contemporary look at the period, and included such developments as the 1975 discovery of the Hamilton and Scourge on the bottom of Lake Ontario, and the 1987 discovery of the skeletons of casualties at Snake Hill. Now, a decade later, Wesley B. Turner has updated The War of 1812 to include the volumes of new research that have come to light in recent years. All this new material has been incorporated into this interesting and informative overview of a crucial period in Canada’s history.

Download or read book The Invasion of Canada written by Ronald J. Dale and published by James Lorimer & Company. This book was released on 2001-10-26 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On June 18, 1812, the United States declared war on Great Britain--the most powerful nation in the world. Britain was in the midst of a long and perilous struggle with Napoleon's France, convincing President Thomas Jefferson that taking Canada would be "a mere matter of marching." Jefferson was terribly wrong. In this book Ron Dale traces the course of this gruelling two-year conflict, bringing to life people and engagements that have become legendary in Canada: General Brock's stand at Queenston Heights, Tecumseh's death at Moraviantown, Laura Secord's epic trek through the woods. He also recovers some equally important, but more obscure results of the conflict, including how the Bank of Nova Scotia was created with privateering prizes from the war. Illustrated throughout with full-colour paintings and modern photography, The Invasion of Canada is a readable, appealing guide to a war that both sides won.

Download or read book 1812 written by Jon Latimer and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 664 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Listen to a short interview with Jon Latimer Host: Chris Gondek - Producer: Heron & Crane In the first complete history of the War of 1812 written from a British perspective, Jon Latimer offers an authoritative and compelling account that places the conflict in its strategic context within the Napoleonic wars. The British viewed the War of 1812 as an ill-fated attempt by the young American republic to annex Canada. For British Canada, populated by many loyalists who had fled the American Revolution, this was a war for survival. The Americans aimed both to assert their nationhood on the global stage and to expand their territory northward and westward. Americans would later find in this war many iconic moments in their national story--the bombardment of Fort McHenry (the inspiration for Francis Scott Key's Star Spangled Banner); the Battle of Lake Erie; the burning of Washington; the death of Tecumseh; Andrew Jackson's victory at New Orleans--but their war of conquest was ultimately a failure. Even the issues of neutrality and impressment that had triggered the war were not resolved in the peace treaty. For Britain, the war was subsumed under a long conflict to stop Napoleon and to preserve the empire. The one lasting result of the war was in Canada, where the British victory eliminated the threat of American conquest, and set Canadians on the road toward confederation. Latimer describes events not merely through the eyes of generals, admirals, and politicians but through those of the soldiers, sailors, and ordinary people who were directly affected. Drawing on personal letters, diaries, and memoirs, he crafts an intimate narrative that marches the reader into the heat of battle.
