Description
Jon Latimer's expert analysis of the last attempt by the United States to seize Canada.
The War of 1812 has the strange distinction of being largely forgotten by both of its main participants, and yet its outcome was critically important to the future of North America.
In 1814, the Americans' Niagara campaign saw a number of pitched battles including Chippawa, Lundy's Lane, and Cook's Mill, where the Americans, under competent leaders such as Winfield Scott, matched the British shot for shot. However, due to poor planning the campaign failed and Canada survived as an independent state.
A critically-acclaimed researcher on the War of 1812, author John Latimer presents a look at an oft forgotten yet crucially important campaign in the history of North America.
