About this Item
Collection of nine pamphlets or historical society publications pertaining to the War of 1812 from the Canadian perspective. All have been written by respected Canadian historians and offer and interesting insight by "the other side." The binding is broken in the center of the book but it is still a tight copy overall with new end pages having been placed at some point. The spine has been replaced with the original laid on. The book has been labeled Documentary History and has the stamp at the base of the spine "C. B. of C Library." One other stamp of the Canadian Bank of Commerce. The pamphlets are in good to very good condition with occasional minor tears ar folds for example. Some of the paper is brittle and Butler's Rangers is beginning to crack along the gutter.
