| Summary |
"Published to mark the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812, [this book] brings together places in the United States and Canada that are connected with the war. These include towns, battle sites, forts, navy yards, cemeteries, and the historic trails of the British and U.S. troops as they marched to battle. Developed with the help of Parks Canada, the U.S. National Park Service, the Champlain Valley National Heritage Partnership, and staff at each of the sites, this guide relates the many struggles of both sides, honors the men who fought, and details the many ways in which the sites commemorate the history today, with living history displays and reenactments"--P. 8. |
