When war broke out between the United States and Great Britain in 1812, neither side was prepared for the conflict, as evidenced by their respective fortifications. The most sophisticated and modern fortifications were those built by the US Corps of Engineers to protect some of the main port cities. These included Fort Mifflin in Philadelphia, Fort McHenry in Baltimore and Castle William in New York. The British also heavily fortified their main harbor at Halifax and their main center of power at Quebec. However, elsewhere, especially in the interior, fortifications were old, neglected or only hastily erected. The forts at Detroit and Mackinac were much as the British had left them in 1796. This book covers all of the main fortifications of the conflict, those that faced the crashing of guns and those whose intimidation played a part in the grand strategy of the war.

The hatred didn’t exist at the beginning of the war. But soon after the Battle of Queenston Heights and the death of General Brock, the War of 1812 became more a case of “survival of the fittest.” Besides the brutal fighting; perhaps the most notable aspect of the War of 1812 was the hatred. If not, then why would the dead remain restless? It was a barbaric war; in an inhospitable climate; with an abundant number of ghost creating opportunities. There were nasty endings from bayonets, swords, musket balls and cannon balls; plus, two huge explosions at Fort York and Fort Erie which resulted in missing bones and unmarked graves. If you add savagery and death by tomahawk to the following; then death from drowning, freezing, disease, burning and sickness would include a greater numbers of victims than the major battles. If you thought that being wounded was a better fate, then think again. Instead of a proper pain killer, the wounded were given rum and a musket ball to clamp between their teeth while they braved the most hideous fate possible for wounded soldiers: the barbaric battlefield medical practice of amputation. If a soldier’s last memory on earth was “being wounded” before he died, then that agony might also survive the grave. Because both America and Britain were not prepared to wage a war with each, there was a shortage of regular soldiers to command in 1812. Therefore, the North American armies were also comprised of militia, Native American Indians and part-time soldiers. Moreover, what started as a political row in the seats of power became more of a personal matter at the local level. In addition to the mounting anger, there was pressure on both sides to increase the number of regular troops in the field as the war continued. The increase in regular troops contributed to a more bitter and violent war, with the final result being several large scale battles and a siege. Why did the dead remain restless you might ask? Why indeed.

The War of 1812 is perhaps the United States' least known conflict. Other than Andrew Jackson's 1815 victory at New Orleans and Francis Scott Key's poem "The Star-Spangled Banner" written in 1814 during the British attack on Baltimore, most Americans know little about the country's second major war. This book will give you a full insight into the second largest military conflict that took place on the soil of North America.

The British built two forts on Florida's Apalachicola River during the closing months of the War of 1812. While the fort at Prospect Bluff is a well-known part of U.S. history, the story of Nicolls' Outpost has never been told in book form.In Nicolls' Outpost: A War of 1812 Fort at Chattahoochee, Florida, historian Dale Cox unravels the history of the little-known British forward base on the upper Apalachicola River. The last formal treaty between Great Britain and the Creek and Seminole Indians was signed at this fort. This all but forgotten document was the first formal agreement between the various groups that would form the Seminole Nation of Florida.Dale Cox is the author of fifteen books on Southeastern U.S. history. A descendant of both the Yuchi (Creek) chief Efau Emathla and the American pioneer Daniel Boone, he lives near the quaint little community of Two Egg, Florida.

Excerpt from The Siege of Fort Erie: An Episode of the War of 1812 After the collapse of Pontiac's conspiracy, the Senecas, fear ing lest the English would punish them for their participation in his scheme, sent some four hundred warriors to Sir William Johnson to sue for peace. And it was about time, for the terrible massacre at Devil's Hole, perpetrated by this tribe, was fresh in the minds of all. This occurred on September fourteenth, 1763, at Devil's Hole, a few miles from Fort Niagara, when an escort to a train of twenty-five wagons on the trail from Fort Schlosser to Fort Niagara was ambushed and almost annihilated by the wily Senecas, only three men escaping. A small garrison of two companies at Lewiston, hearing the attack, rushed to the rescue and was in turn ambushed. All but eight of these were killed. When the garrison from Fort Niagara reached the scene, the ruins of the train, and some eighty scalped bodies, including those of six officers, alone remained. When the Seneca dele gation arrived, Sir William, doubtless bearing this and similar events in mind, insisted upon a substantial grant of land. This the Senecas promised to give. Soon afterward they reluctantly met Sir William Johnson at Fort Niagara and by formal treaty the English acquired a strip of land four miles wide on each side of the Niagara from Lake Ontario to Lake Erie. This treaty was concluded on August sixth, 1764. A clause of the treaty granting this land is here inserted, as it is of considerable local interest. Barkman's graphic description of this gathering of the Indians, in his Conspiracy of Pontiac, will well repay a perusal, for the concourse comprised not only the Senecas but upwards of two thousand other Indians.
