Excerpt from The Battle of Queenston Heights: Oct 13, 1812 G that means are not furnished us tourists for learn ing these remarkable facts 2 Oh, Madam, perhaps, at present, there is generally some garrulous old gentleman whose brains lady tour ists can pick, and so farther information is not necessary! Oh, that is all right, as to the garrulousness, but we can hardly express the Oh ligation we all feel to you for these very striking facts in our nation's history. May I be plain with you, Sir. Though a stranger? Certainly, Madam. Well, I must say, then, that I think it your duty to put these things in printed form for the help of tourists. You were born here; your father was in the fight your account to us shows that you are familiar with the incidents of the fight and with the men who fought it you say that you are the oldest person living born on this spot; it seems to me, really, your duty to reduce your information to writing and give it to us, who are younger, before your sun goes down. And, Sir, may your sunset be yet far off Please, what was the war of 1812 about 2 Yes, yes, they all said, we know nothing about it. I told them briefly. It was all genially, gently, handsomely said. I have taken it to thought, and I dedicate this little booklet to the gentle tourist who laid the injunction 011 me to v rite it. TO the tourist public I would say that I shall be glad if my trouble shall meet with the interest of those who read these lines. J. Cooke.

The Story of Issac Brock by Walter R. Nursey Isaac Brock, widely known as "The Hero of Upper Canada," joined the British army at the age of fifteen in 1785. After being promoted to captain he became a member of the 49th Regiment of Foot. He remained in this regiment until he was killed at the Battle of Queenston Heights in 1812. Between the years 1803-5 he and his regiment were posted to York (Toronto). In 1805 he was promoted to colonel and by 1810 he was a brigadier general in charge of all troops in Upper Canada. Finally, on June 4, 1811, he was promoted to Major-General, just at the onset of the War of 1812. As part of his duties in this capacity he presided over Upper Canada as its lieutenant-governor. One of the main accomplishments of Brock was his meeting with Indian leader Tecumseh, at which Tecumseh reportedly stated This is a man. A partnership and bonding soon followed, and as a team they worked together to harass the Americans on the frontier, engaging in many battles and lesser conflicts together. After the United Stated had declared war, its soldiers initiated attacks on Essex County from their base in Detroit, followed by additional strikes on the Niagara Frontier. Brock arrived at Fort Malden on August 13, 1812 and immediately planned an assault on Detroit. General William Hull surrendered the fort after Brock and his Indian allies under Tecumseh cleverly outwitted the Americans. Brock traveled to the Niagara Frontier, where the Americans continued to cause havoc, and was killed on October 13, 1812 during the British victory at the Battle of Queenston Heights. He never learned that he had been knighted just three days before the battle. This book provides you with the complete story of Brock 's life. The illustrations throughout its pages are rare and are treasured by historians. In accompaniment with the companion book "The Story of Tecumseh" it gives you a complete and easy-to-read understanding of the War of 1812 on the Detroit Frontier. The Board of Education of Ontario, Canada commissioned these two books on the occasion of the centennial anniversary of the War of 1812. We at Upper Canada Press are proud to offer these two reprints as a commemorative of the bicentennial of the same war in 2012.

The quest to write a geographical book leading up to the two-hundredth anniversary of this conflict, known as the War of 1812, that created two North American countries we enjoy today, began in 2006, with the goal to visit as many historical sites as possible. We started searching for roadside markers, plaques, monuments, cemeteries, the tombstones to the fallen, fortifications, battlefields and those who fought in this war, and to tell the readers the stories behind them. Searching for the Forgotten War 1812, was an experience that was more than we expected in terms of the wonderful people we met along the way.
