NOTES
An inside look at the War of 1812 from the journals of two young men, edited by American historian Milo Milton Quaife (1880-1959). Part I of the book is the journal of Thomas Vercheres de Boucheville, of French descent; and part II is from someone who called himself "an Ohio volunteer". Both are drawn into the war by circumstances, and converge on the battle for Detroit (it was little more than a village then). A fascinating look at a young nation at war on the frontier wilderness
