War of 1812: Canadian Perspective

Our presentation for March 7 was given by Rick Wood, who took us through the events of the War of 1812 from a Canadian point of view. We heard about many mistakes made by both sides. It is sometimes called "the forgotten war," but there were names and sayings from the era that were certainly recognized by the audience. After more than three years of conflict, nothing really changed in regard to borders or territory.

The handout was a useful list of websites for use if your ancestors might have been involved in this part of our shared history.

Thanks, Rick, for an educational and entertaining presentation.
