Product Description
The War of 1812 played a major role in creating a Canadian identity. This popular history of the war focuses on the major events and battles: the capture of Detroit, the Battle of Queenston Heights, the taking of York and Niagara, the victory at Chateauguay, the Battle of Lundy's Lane, and the battles waged at sea. It is generously illustrated with archival images as well as with contemporary colour photography taken at historical sites associated with the war.
Ronald Dale is a historian and the Superintendent of Niagara National Historic Sites, including Fort George and Brock's Monument. He is the author of Niagara-on-the-Lake: An Illustrated History.

A vividly recounted, event-by-event survey June 17, 2003
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The Invasion Of Canada: Battles Of The War Of 1812 by historian Ronald J. Dale (Superintendent of Niagara National Historic Sites) ably recounts the United States' invasion of Canada during the war of 1812, when Thomas Jefferson declared that annexing Canada would be "a mere matter of marching." Yet fierce battles would make him regret those words. The Invasion Of Canada offers the reader a vividly recounted, event-by-event survey of this relatively neglected aspect of American/Canadian history, as well as the men who became Canadian legends. Full-color photographs enhance this superbly written, highly recommended historical account.
