Inhaltsangabe

At the height of the War of 1812, the Niagara frontier became one of the most fiercely contested borders in North America. The voices of 1814 endure. In this meticulous primary source collection, E. A. Cruikshank gathers rare documents relating to the United States invasion of the Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, commanded by General Jacob Brown, opening a direct window onto the Canadian American border war in July and August 1814. Orders, reports and personal testimonies trace the progress of the Niagara frontier campaign and reveal the pressures, missteps and resolve on both sides of the line. Compiled by one of the foundational historians of Canadian military history, this volume remains a trusted military history reference for War of 1812 scholars and an illuminating narrative for interested general readers. As an academic research resource on early 19th century Canada, it captures strategy, logistics and human cost with an immediacy that later retellings cannot match, making it indispensable for understanding the wider United States invasion of Canada and the defence of the Niagara Peninsula. For anyone drawn to EA Cruikshank war 1812 scholarship and to the detail of the Niagara frontier campaign, these war of 1812 documents offer insight, nuance and vivid context. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, it stands as a Canadian military history classic for historians, students and collectors alike.
