Defending the Inland Shores: Newfoundland in the War of 1812

By (author): Gordon K. Jones

Newfoundland played a significant role in the defence of Upper Canada during the War of 1812. “Defending the Inland Shores: Newfoundland in the War of 1812” tells this incredible story. The book describes many key battles, including the siege and capture of Fort Detroit, taking of an American naval schooner on Lake Ontario, a surprise attack against Ogdensburg, New York, and desperate defence of a British ship on the Niagara River during an American night assault.
