| Publisher Description: The War of 1812 was fought from June, 1812 to February, 1815 between Great Britain and the United States, along with their respective Indigenous allies. Sites connected with the War dot the Canadian landscape, from St. John's, Newfoundland & Labrador west to Amherstburg, Ontario. While giving us heroes like Major General Isaac Brock, Native leader Tecumseh, and the intrepid Laura Secord, the War also left death and destruction in its wake. Settlers' homes were burned and their livelihoods despoiled, with thousands left dead or wounded. According to eyewitnesses, this conflict has left a powerful supernatural legacy at many sites connected with the War. In this work, Dr. David J. Clarke examines more than sixty Canadian locales, chronicling their history relative to the War of 1812, plus the numerous reports of hauntings associated with these fascinating places. |
