Summary:
"Though often forgotten today, the War of 1812 was a defining moment in the history of not only the United States, but also Canada and the Native peoples on both sides of the border. Western New York Heritage is proud to present this series of three commemorative annuals, which will examine the conflict, its impact on our region, and why it deserves to be remembered, as we commemorate the bicentennial of both the war and the lasting peace between the United States and Canada"--Cover, p. [4].
