The War Of 1812.

My Lady & Camac,

Yes, you can say things worked out pretty well the way they did.

When you think about it, the War of 1812 really accomplished nothing or barely at the time, but very well was a defining moment for a very young and naive nation on one side and a soon to be nation on the other. Later, both nations saw much more commonality than difference and to this date share a most unique and worldly admired relationship. If only all nations shared this peace.

We do have a most unique relationship kind of like across the fence friends (without the fence). We have our difference but thankfully they have never gone past the yelling at each other stage. Hell we usually kiss and make up after a while.
It must be hard for those living below the border to know that they are right next door the the Best place on Earth .


Camac.

PS. I know no more zings.

Camac, Yes, but we have greener grass and much more of it!!!!

Guys!Guys! USN your grass maybe greener but ours is of better quality and Camac what's this "giving up".

Back to war here. I read about another hero that not much is written about him and it is Major-General Isaac Brock.

Do you know any kind of story in regards of his involment during this war?

Major General Sir Issac Brock was Military Commander of all British forces in Upper Canada (Ontario) at the outbreak of the War. He was responsible the early defeat of the American Invasion and died leading his troops at the Battle of Queenston Heights. He has been called the Saviour Of Canada.I will go into more detail later as I am off to bed right now.


Camac.

USN;

The rest of the books I ordered on the War just arrived to-day and when I'm finished with Lundy's Lane I start reading "Don't give up the Ship" Myths ot the War of 1812, by D.R. Hickey. Should be interesting. I've always been a Habs fan myself.



Camac.

Do you have any books by Donald E. Graves?

USN

USN;

Yeas I have three. "The Battle of Lundy's Lane, Field of Glory, The Battle of Crysler's Farm, and Guns Across the River the Battle of the Windmill.1838. So far I"m reading Lundy's Lane. Have you read Bruce Cattons Trilogy on your Civil War?
Good Reading.



Camac.

PS. I think the war of 1812 was one of the few wars that the participants ended up the best of Allies.

PPS. How come you didn't bite on Define celt.

Hmm, I must have missed it.

USN;


The three books are The Coming Fury, Terrible Swift Sword, and Never Call Retreat. You might have to get them from a used book store (where I got mine) as they were printed back in the early 60s' for the Centennial of the Civil War.


Camac.

Ok, back on topic all! The war of 1812! What it was about and why?.

I am sure we are all proud Canadians or Americans. This is not the issue in this topic. We are here to educate others what the war was about, why and what it accomplished past, present and future.

Peace!

Camac,

If you have any more on this General that was considered a hero during that war
or if you have any title to give me I'd appreciate it very much.
