This review is from: Soldiers of the King: The Upper Canadian Militia 1812-1815 (Hardcover)

For the enthusiast of the War of 1812, this book constitutes a must have resource, as it is the first time in which an attempt has been made to compile the nominal rolls of the Upper Canadian militia. For the most part, the information provided consists of no more than name and rank, but where possible, the author provides more; in addition, he has also made an attempt to compile a list of casualties suffered by the Upper Canadian militia, a list which the author admits is far from complete, but which is a commendable undertaking nonetheless. The author also provides a clear and concise background to the formation and participation of the Upper Canadian militia in the war. All making for a unique and useful resource.
