Book excerpt: As summer turned to fall in 1812, two armies watched each other warily across the turbulent Niagara River that formed the border between the United States and British Canada. On the American side, regular soldiers and state -militia trained under the inexperienced, -politically--appointed General Stephen Van Rensselaer, while on the British side General Isaac Brock worried about defending his long frontier with a meager force of regulars and militia and a group of native warriors about whom he held serious doubts.This is, surprisingly, the first full-length study of the Battle of Queenston Heights. We see the American government stumble into war and send a weakly supplied force to invade across the Niagara River. We follow the battle through the eyes of participants: Jared Willson wonders if he is going to become a cold Yankee, and the Canadian Archie McLean ignores orders by running to the fight with his friend John Beverley Robinson. Winfield Scott strides across the field in full dress Chapeau and plume, and John Norton exhorts his warriors with Come forward whoever hold a manly heart! Artillery Captain William Holcroft retakes Queenston and writes, His Majesty's arms gained a complete victory over those of the United States yesterday in a very brilliant affair.The battle was a sharp lesson for the young U.S. Army and its political masters in Washington and a critical morale booster in Upper Canada. The death of Brock led to an outpouring of grief among Canadians and an impressive monu-ment was raised in his name.This new look at the battle tackles many of the myths that have grown over the years. Was Brock the hero of the day? Was this a victory for the Canadian militia? Were the oft--maligned New York militia responsible for their army's -defeat? What was the role of the native allies of the British? Could the American invading force have won?Robert Malcomson's exciting and readable account will add a new level of appreciation for the drama and significance of the War of 1812.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Battle of Queenston Heights: Being a Narrative of the Opening of the War of 1812; With Notices of the Life of Major-General Isaac Brock, and Description of the Monument Erected to His Memory But unfortunately the news of the repeal of these orders in Council came too late, and having hastily rushed into war it was difficult for America to recede; indeed subsequent events rendered it highly probable that the American Government of that day had anticipated credit from the commencement of the war, especially from the conquest of Canada, which seems to have been regarded as an easy task. Several acts of hostility occurred between the two powers, attended with various success, but we hasten to the beginning of the campaign against Canada.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Battle of Queenston Heights: Oct 13, 1812 As the writer of these pages was sitting on the rear porch of the Cornell, Lewiston, looking out, after an absence of forty years, on this, his native Niagara - the delight of his childhood and the pride of his manhood - a small company of bright men and women looked with him on the majestic How of the noble stream and the scene of wondrous beauty lining its banks. Towering high above all was the noble shaft on Queenston Heights. "I wonder whose monument that is," said a lady. No one answered, and I ventured to say that it was to Gen. Brock, killed in the Battle of Queenston Heights. "Are you familiar with this region, Sir?" "I was born here, and passed here the first forty years of my life." "Could you kindly tell us something of the battle?" "I ought to be able, for my lather was in the battle, under tire the whole day." "You would do us all the greatest favor." I then told them briefly the story of the day. "Why, this is all new to me." And, looking at her company, she said: "I am just going to come back here from Buffalo and spend two weeks to learn more of these striking incidents."
