A good deal of original evidence on the American side is given in Brannan’s Official Letters of the Military and Naval Officers of the United States during the War with Great Britain in the Years 1812 to 1815.  The original British evidence about the campaigns in Canada is given in William Wood’s Select British Documents of the Canadian War of 1812.  Students who wish to see the actual documents must go to Washington, London, and Ottawa.  The Dominion Archives are of exceptional interest to all concerned.

The present work is based entirely on original evidence, both American and British.
