Book excerpt: Excerpt from Selections From the Correspondence of Thomas Barclay: Formerly British Consul-General at New York Thomas Barclay was born in the city of New-York on October 12, 1753. He was an active and zealous Loyalist during the Revolution, and at its close sought refuge in the Province of Nova Scotia. In 1799 he returned to New-York as British consul-general; and here, with brief interruptions, he resided until his death on April 21, 1830. Nearly fifty years of his life were spent in the public service of Great Britain, and yet he was by descent and marriage, as well as by birth and residence, essentially an American, and not an Englishman. He was indeed a very typical New-Yorker, of the pre-Revolutionary and loyal sort; closely allied to the English Church and the Royal Government, but tracing his descent back through four generations to some of the earliest settlers in the colonies.

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.
