Searching for the Forgotten War - 1812 Canada

The quest to write a geographical book leading up to the two-hundredth anniversary

of this conflict, known as the War of 1812, that created two North

American countries we enjoy today, began in 2006, with the goal to visit as many

historical sites as possible. We started searching for roadside markers, plaques,

monuments, cemeteries, the tombstones to the fallen, fortifications, battlefields

and those who fought in this war, and to tell the readers the stories behind them.

Searching for the Forgotten War 1812, was an experience that was more than we

expected in terms of the wonderful people we met along the way.
