History of the war of 1812 between Great Britain and the United States of America

This is a history of the War of 1812 from a Canadian perspective. These passages are from the author’s Preface:

“This book has been written for the purpose of placing before the people of Canada, in a single volume, the story of the defense of our country from foreign invasion during the last war between Great Britain and the United States of America.” “No doubt it will be said by some critics that in this book I have been too severe on the Americans who invaded our country, burnt our towns, ravaged our fields, slaughtered our people and tried to place us under a foreign flag.”

Chapter headings are:

-Causes which led to the war.
-War declared by President Madison.
-General Hull invades Canada.
-Surrender of Hull’s army.
-Battle of Queenston Heights.
-On the Niagara frontier.
-Failure of Dearborn’s campaign.
