Written 15 years after the War of 1812's conclusion, this book was authored by David Thompson, late of the Royal Scots and printed by Thomas Sewell of Niagara. Sewell's printery was on the Market Square but he also owned property on Platoff Street.
The full title of the book is "History of the late war, between Great Britain and the United States of America : with a retrospective view of the causes from whence it originated ; collected from the most authentic sources, To which is added an Appendix, containing public documents &c., relating to the subject."
In the advertisement section of the book, the author apologizes for the delay in the completion of the book and explains that the lack of quality paper was one of the main reasons for the delay.
