Dedication

This book is offered:

First, as a salute to the memory of all those, on both sides of the lines, who served, sacrificed, and died as they loyally obeyed their country’s call-to-arms in the North American War of 1812–1815.

Second, as a mark of respect to the men and women of the military services of Canada, Great Britain, and the United States, who today honorably continue that legacy of service and sacrifice at home and across the globe.

Third, as a thank-you to my fellow “Living History” reenactors, with and against whom I’ve “fought” for so many years.

Finally, as a memory from “Bamp” to my grandsons, Anthony, Lawrence, and Daniel.
