Summary:
"A detailed history of the War of 1812 as it affected
Downeast
Maine
, with a focus on the
British
occupation
of the town of Castine,
Maine
. The
British
offensive in Eastern
Maine
in 1814 resulted in their most sizable
capture
of US territory, and it would have become a territorial annexation to
British
North America (as it was then properly called), had it not been for American checkmate of the other
British
offensives of that year on the Niagara Peninsula, on Lake Champlain, and most famously at New Orleans. Includes contemporary documentation in Royal Navy dispatches and Maritime and
Maine
newspapers. The author is a professor emeritus in the History Department of Saint Mary's University in Halifax"--Provided by publisher.
