Binding tight, pages clean and unmarked.Sandy Antal's study is a detailed military and political history of Major-General Henry Procter's 1812-1813 campaign in Upper Canada and the Old Northwest, including the siege of Fort Meigs, the Battle of the River Raisin (Frenchtown), and the British defeat at Moraviantown where Tecumseh was killed.[From back cover] This formative history takes a new look at a dramatic conflict, the war on the Detroit frontier in 1812-13. Powerful key players (Procter, Tecumseh and Brock), their disparate war aims, and the "all or nothing" character of the campaigns they waged still seem larger than life. Yet Sandy Antal's careful reconstruction of Native and national aspiration, vested colonial interest, and territorial aggression, reveals motives and expedients that are as often mundane as heroic. A Wampum Denied reassesses the much-maligned career of Henry Procter, commander of the British forces, traces the Canadian/British/Native side of the conflict (amid a literature dominated by the American view), and casts new light on an allied military strategy that very nearly succeeded, but when it failed, failed spectacularly.Contents: Acknowledgments; Abbreviations; Introduction; Part One: Forward March (chapters on the opening of the western front, Detroit, and the invasion of Michigan); Part Two: The Tide Turns (Frenchtown, Fort Meigs, Fort Stephenson, the loss of Lake Erie); Part Three: Frontal Warfare (retreat from Amherstburg, Moraviantown, and its aftermath); Appendix: Post-Moraviantown Sketches of Combatants (41st Regiment of Foot, Royal Newfoundland Regiment, and others); Notes; Bibliography; Index.
