Inhaltsangabe

Defending the Inland Shores describes the significant role that the Newfoundland soldiers played in the defence of Canada during the War of 1812. The Royal Newfoundland Regiment was on the front lines throughout the war, fought with honour and great courage, and experienced many casualties during military actions, such as the Battle of the Maumee, the Battle of Fort George, and the Battle of Lake Erie. This book also discusses several legendary military commanders from the War of 1812, including George Prevost, Isaac Brock, Andrew Bulger, and George Macdonell. Throughout the book, the author skilfully describes many prominent battles of the war, such as the siege of Fort Detroit, the capture of an American naval schooner on Lake Ontario, a surprise attack on Ogdensburg, and the heroic defence of a British ship on the Niagara River during an American assault. Defending the Inland Shores tells these incredible stories and recalls important events from Canadian military history.
