  • Appendix I War of 1812 Chronology
    THE WAR OF 1812 MAGAZINE ISSUE 26 December 2016 Appendix I War of 1812 Chronology Compiled by Ralph Eshelman and Donald Hickey Introduction This War of 1812 Chronology includes all the major events related to the conflict beginning with the 1797 Jay Treaty of amity, commerce, and navigation between the United Kingdom and the United States of America and ending with the United States, Weas and Kickapoos signing of a peace treaty at Fort Harrison, Indiana, June 4, 1816. While the chronology includes items such as treaties, embargos and political events, the focus is on military engagements, both land and sea. It is believed this chronology is the most holistic inventory of War of 1812 military engagements ever assembled into a chronological listing. Don Hickey, in his War of 1812 Chronology, comments that chronologies are marred by errors partly because they draw on faulty sources and because secondary and even primary sources are not always dependable.1 For example, opposing commanders might give different dates for a military action, and occasionally the same commander might even present conflicting data. Jerry Roberts in his book on the British raid on Essex, Connecticut, points out that in a copy of Captain Coot’s report in the Admiralty and Secretariat Papers the date given for the raid is off by one day.2 Similarly, during the bombardment of Fort McHenry a British bomb vessel's log entry date is off by one day.3 Hickey points out that reports compiled by officers at sea or in remote parts of the theaters of war seem to be especially prone to ambiguity and error.

  • Billy Green the Scout and the Battle of Stoney Creek (June 5-6, 1813)
    The War of 1812 Magazine Issue 20, May 2013 Billy Green the Scout and the Battle of Stoney Creek (June 5-6, 1813) By Philip E. J. Green, M.Sc. Abstract This paper examines the story of Billy Green the Scout and his role in the battle of Stoney Creek during the War of 1812. It sets out the evidence that he obtained the American countersign, led the British troops to the American encampment, used the countersign while approaching American sentries, dispatched at least one sentry, and was present at the battle itself. It weighs the evidence using a similar standard of evidence to that used to accept the story of Laura Secord as historical fact. It concludes that there is strong and plausible evidence that Billy Green the Scout played an important contribution to the British victory. Introduction On May 27, 1813 the invading US army captured Fort George from the British, near the present-day town of Niagara on the Lake, Ontario. The British withdrew, led by Brigadier-General John Vincent, and set up camp about 70 km away at Burlington Heights, in the present location of the Hamilton Cemetery and the grounds of Dundurn Castle. Two American brigades set off in pursuit, and established a camp at Stoney Creek, where they contemplated plans to attack the British. On the evening of June 5, the two armies were about 12km apart. The American force greatly outnumbered the British. The Battle of Stoney Creek took place on June 6, 1813, in the early hours of the morning. The story of William Green in this action, as reconstructed from the evidence presented herein, is described below.

We are inspired by the bravery of our soldiers at Normandy and moved by the words of John McCrae’s "In Flanders Fields." We are amazed at the vision of Louis-Joseph Papineau and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. We are enchanted by the paintings of Emily Carr and the writings of Lucy Maud Montgomery. We look back in awe at the wisdom of Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir George-Étienne Cartier. We are moved to tears of joy by the humour of Stephen Leacock and tears of gratitude for the courage of Tecumseh. We hold in high regard the determination of Emily Murphy and Rev. Josiah Henson to overcome obstacles which stood in the way of their dreams. We give thanks for the work of the Victorian Order of Nurses and those who organ- ized the Underground Railroad. We think of those who suffered and died at Grosse Île in the dream of reaching a new home.

  • Francis Collins First Catholic Journalist in Upper Canada
    CCHA Report, 6(1938-39), 51-66 Francis Collins First Catholic Journalist in Upper Canada BY THE REV. BROTHER ALFRED, F.S.C., LL.D. Francis Collins, the first Catholic Journalist in, Upper Canada,1 friend of liberty and free institutions, advocate of responsible government, founder, proprietor and editor of the “Canadian Freeman,” was born at Newry,2 County Down, Ireland, in 1801. He was endowed by nature with a keen mind and he enjoyed the benefits of a fair education in the Irish schools of the day. On the close of the Napoleonic wars, British sailing vessels were released for trans-Atlantic service, with the result that an ever-rising tide of Irish emigration set in. Following its current, which had already carried many of his oppressed countrymen to larger opportunities and brighter prospects in the new world, Francis Collins sailed for America in 1818. Destiny led him to Upper Canada to the town of York,3 whose foundations had been laid by Lt. Gov. John Graves Simcoe a quarter of a century before, in the year 1796. Already men of Irish blood were making their presence felt on the banks of the Don. After the failure in Ireland of the rebellion of 1798 and the dispersion of the “ United Irishmen,” many members of that organization and their sympathizers fled to America. Not a few found their way to Upper Canada, where, in York, they immediately set up an active agitation for the reform of the government of the province of Upper Canada. They were the real founders of the Reform Party.

THE HELMAN-TAYLOR COMPANY, Cleveland. JOHN MACKaY, Glasgow. 1900. Highland Arms. To Colonel Sir Fitzroy Donald MacLean, Bart., C.B., President of The Highland Society of London, An hereditary Chief, honored by his Clansmen at home and abroad, on account of the kindly interest he takes in their welfare, as well as everything that relates to the Highlands, and though deprived of an ancient patrimony, his virtues and patriotism have done honor to the Gael, this Volume is Respectfully dedicated by the Author. "There's sighing and sobbing in yon Highland forest; There's weeping and wailing in yon Highland vale, And fitfully flashes a gleam from the ashes Of the tenantless hearth in the home of the Gael. There's a ship on the sea, and her white sails she's spreadin', A' ready to speed to a far distant shore; She may come hame again wi' the yellow gowd laden, But the sons of Glendarra shall come back no more. The gowan may spring by the clear-rinnin' burnie, The cushat may coo in the green woods again.

OSGOODE HALI,, TORONTO, JANUARY 18TH., 1916. PREFACE. This work is the result of very many hours of dili gent and at the same time pleasant research.

I am wholly responsible for everything in this book (proof-reading included) except where otherwise spe stated and shall be to be informed of cifically ; glad any error which may have crept in.
