Greater Evils: The War of 1812 in Southwestern Ontario Revised Edition

About this title:

"Greater Evils is a comprehensive study of the War of 1812 as it played out in the London and Western Districts of Upper Canada. It provides detailed insights into the events, people, and places involved during this tumultuous period of Canadian History. It references extensive archival materials, appendices and includes nineteen maps and over sixty illustrations, many of which are reproduced in colour.

The book is thoroughly indexed and much of the material appears in print for the first time. As Stott explains “The war in the London and Western Districts took on a character all of its own causing communities and even families to come into conflict among themselves. The social, political and economic impact of the War on this region was enormous.”
