This is not to say that Walter Lord's DAWN'S EARLY LIGHT or the books by Donald Graves are not spectacular on their own but this book was written by someone who was practically a contemporary of the War, visited every possible site, interviewed surviving witnesses, draw wonderful and detailed woodcuts, provides autographs, maps and updates on the grounds. Perfect for researchers and excellent for those who enjoy visiting the old sites.” Benson John Lossing was a prolific and popular American historian, known best for his illustrated books on the American Revolution and American Civil War, and features in Harper's Magazine.This massive book was written by someone who was practically a contemporary of the War. Lossing visited every possible battle site in the US and Canada, interviewed surviving witnesses, drew wonderful and detailed woodcuts, provided autographs, maps and updates on the battle grounds. Simply the best, and most defintive, book on the War of 1812. Perfect for researchers and excellent for those who enjoy touring the old sites. He traveled more than ten thousand miles…visiting places of historic interest connected with the War of 1812, from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, gathering up, recording, and delineating every thing of special value, not found in books…and making himself familiar with the topography and incidents of the battlefields of that war." Through access to the archives of governments, state and national, and to private collections and personal accounts of the events of that struggle, which otherwise might have been lost, he received the most interesting information concerning the war. "An account is given of the perils of the country immediately succeeding the Revolution; the struggles of the new nation with the allied powers of British and Indians in the Northwest; the origin and growth of political parties in the United States, and their relations to the War of 1812; the influence of the French Revolution and French politics in giving complexion to parties in this country; the first war with the Barbary Powers; the effects of the wars of Napoleon on the public policy of the United States; the Embargo and kindred acts, and the kindling of the war in 1812." A subject, place and fullname index plus a list of illustrations covering the page numbers of over 800 drawings and maps placed throughout the text allow the researcher easy access to information. This a must have for anyone interested in studying the events, places and people of the War of 1812 from an American and Canadian perspective. Lossing was an American historian who went from battle site to battle site throughout Canada and the United States writing the accounts of those who fought in this war and/or witnessed it first hand. He was also an artist and did many sketches of each site. Together they make this book a national treasure not to be overlooked.
