The structural remains of the blockhouse and the features found in a test of the redoubt rampart and casemates are discussed. The archaeological features are correlated with historical plans and elevation drawings of the redoubt.

The report provides data for comparative studies and may also serve as the basis for the planning of future excavations.

Download or read book Forts of the War of 1812 written by René Chartrand and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-02-20 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When war broke out between the United States and Great Britain in 1812, neither side was prepared for the conflict, as evidenced by their respective fortifications. The most sophisticated and modern fortifications were those built by the US Corps of Engineers to protect some of the main port cities. These included Fort Mifflin in Philadelphia, Fort McHenry in Baltimore and Castle William in New York. The British also heavily fortified their main harbor at Halifax and their main center of power at Quebec. However, elsewhere, especially in the interior, fortifications were old, neglected or only hastily erected. The forts at Detroit and Mackinac were much as the British had left them in 1796. This book covers all of the main fortifications of the conflict, those that faced the crashing of guns and those whose intimidation played a part in the grand strategy of the war.

Download or read book Fishing at Grande Grave in the Early 1900s written by Roch Samson and published by [Hull, Quebec] : National Historic Parks and Sites Branch, Parks Canada. This book was released on 1980 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the French regime, the Gaspé fishery was characterized by the seasonal migration of fishermen from France. The fishery became increasingly sedentary after 1760, as Jersey interests moved in and imposed their organizational structure on the industry. Jersey firms set up operations at Grand-Grave in this period, and features typical of the Jersey system were still visible there in the early 1900s. There is evidence that fishermen worked under differing conditions. All the fishing techniques were characteristic of coastal fishing, and the catching and processing methods belong to tradition that originated with the first Europeans who fished in Gaspé waters. Herring, sand lance and squid were the main bait species; the principal types of gear were the herring net, the sand lance seine, the jigger and the hand line; and the Gaspé boat, a type of sailing barge, was the main fishing vessel. The processing was done by company establishment and independent fishermen alike at the same time of the year, and traditional methods were used in both cases.

Download or read book Ghosts of Niagara on the Lake written by Maria Da Silva and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2018-07-28 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new, expanded edition detailing Niagara-on-the-Lake’s ghostly inhabitants. Long-dead British soldiers, grieving lovers, lingering spirits — Niagara-on-the-Lake’s long and colourful history is kept alive by ghosts of its past. Through historical investigation and eyewitness accounts, Andrew Hind and Maria Da Silva share over two dozen ghostly tales: a murdered British officer haunts the Olde Angel Inn, a ghostly widow retaliates against couples, a condemned ghost at the old courthouse pleads his innocence, and ghostly guests at the Prince of Wales Hotel have no desire to check out. Some have called Niagara on-the-Lake Canada’s most haunted town, and with so much of its built heritage preserved, the community clearly makes the perfect haunt for age-old spirits.
