My family and I traveled this past summer into through New York and into Canada and stopped at several War of 1812 battlefields-Sackett's Harbor, Fort Niagara, Chippawa, Lundy's Lane and Fort Erie.
At Fort Niagara I picked up some excellent books on the period:
-The Life and War Remembrances of Captain Mordecai Myers, 13th US Infantry 1812-1815, edited by Neil Yetwin.
-Long Range Guns, Close Quarter Combat: The Third United States Artillery Regiment in the Wa4r of 1812 by Richard Barbuto.
-First Campaign of an ADC: The War of 1812 Memoir of Lieutenant Willian Jenkins Worth, United States Army. edited by Donald Graves.
-Sailors of 1812: Memoirs and Letters of Naval Officers on Lake Ontario, edited by Robert Malcomson.
-Captain George Howard, United States Army: The Chronicles of a Conneticut Yankee on the Northern Frontier in the War of 1812, edited by Gregory Kloten.
All are very interesting and highly recommended. The publications of the Old Fort Niagara Association are always of high quality and definite 'arrows in the quiver' of our collective knowledge.
