Description

Collected by Janet Carnochan while she was curator of the Niagara Historical Museum, this scrapbook contains various newspaper articles concerning events in Canada in 1813. Most articles are narratives of various battles that occurred in Canada during the War of 1812. However, there are a few articles that contain “eye witness” accounts of the war. Some battles and centennial memorials mentioned include Stoney Creek, Beaverdams, Crysler’s farms, Morrisburg and Muddy York. Other topics discussed are War of 1812 memorials, Captain Barclay, Lord Wolseley and a section focusing on the first Welland Canal. It is unsure exactly what newspapers are included. However, it seems that most articles originate approximately from the year 1913. This scrapbook has a hard black cover that is, along with its binding, quite loose.

Relevant War of 1812 newspaper clippings included in this digitized record are titled:

"100 Years Ago Today: Capture at York"

"The Story of the Battle of Stoney Creek, 1813"

"One Hundred Years Ago To Morrow Toronto Fell The Stars and Stripes Waved Over Burning Village: Narrative of Eyewitness of the Capture of Old York"
