"This formative history takes a new look at a dramatic conflict-the war on the Detroit frontier in 1812-13. Powerful key players (Procter, Tecumseh and Brock), their disparate war aims, and the "all or nothing" character of the campaigns they waged still seem larger than life. Yet Sandy Antal's careful reconstruction of Native and national aspiration, vested colonial interest, and territorial aggression, reveals motives and expedients that were as often mundane as heroic. A Wampum Denied reassesses the much-maligned career of Henry Procter, commander of the British forces, traces the Canadian/British/Native side of the conflict (amid a literature dominated by the American view), and casts new light on an allied military strategy that very nearly succeeded, but when it failed, failed spectacularly."

This book has been a staple of my War of 1812 library since 1998. Although Antal defends the undefendable (Proctor), quite well, he also provides a wealth of detail concerning the early battles in the western region of U.C. His treatment of the Indian Confederation's interaction with the British and Canadians is particularly well done. Highly recommended. |
