On the Niagara frontier, the War of 1812 was fought farm by farm, river by river. History speaks in original voices. In this landmark work of documentary military history, Colonel E. Cruikshank gathers the dispatches, letters and official reports that shaped the War of 1812 Niagara theatre, tracing the Niagara frontier campaign as it unfolded along the Upper Canada frontier 1812 and the wider Great Lakes campaign 1812. As a primary source war history and a meticulously curated research collection on the War of 1812 that scholars still consult, this ninth volume deepens the picture of British American battles 1812 with contemporaneous testimony from both sides. Readers see commanders weigh impossible decisions, civil authorities plead for protection, and ordinary inhabitants caught between advancing armies. The result is Canadian military history at its most immediate, drawn straight from a military archives collection of War of 1812 documents that few outside specialist circles ever encounter in one place. 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. Both an indispensable War of 1812 reference and an engrossing narrative for anyone fascinated by empire, identity and borderlands, The Documentary History Of The Campaign Upon The Niagara Frontier In 1812-4 (Volume IX) belongs on the shelf of casual history enthusiasts, serious researchers and classic-literature collectors alike.
