The 212th anniversary of the #BattleOfStoneyCreek happens overnight tonight. This marks the point where, by a bold action by the pursued British troops, the outcome of the #WarOf1812 turns from a rout to a 2-year back-and-forth that will define 2 nations’ national stories.

I hope everyone has had a great Labour Day Long Weekend! I spent my weekend photoshopping Canadian history into classic rock album covers. Took me awhile so I hope you enjoy the thread! 👇 Canadian Greats Inspired by Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band 🧵1/9

@HistoricaCanada Major issues with the “Canadian Volunteers” article. Should read “retaking of the Redan Battery”. Also, Brock died at the Battle of Queenston Heights, October 12, 1812

This campaign of terrorism would cement Willcocks’ legacy & when his end came 9 months later, there were none to mourn his passing. After his death, his remains were ultimately interred somewhere in @ForestLawnCem, unmarked & unremarked to those he sought to influence 6/6

& the #BattleOfBeaverDams (famous for #LauraSecord’s walk), US forces retreated across the Niagara River to Fort Niagara. Willcocks & the Volunteers were tasked with setting fire to all structures that might provide cover for the ‘enemy’, a task they undertook with gusto. 5/6

#OTD 1814 #WarOf1812 turncoat & #CanadianVolunteers leader Joseph Willcocks dies while leading an attack on a British battery during the #SiegeOfFortErie Virtually unknown to most Canadians, this mercurial figure played an important role in negotiating #SixNations warriors to 1/6

@peterfmackay @CraigBaird If a War nail-biter interests you, I’d recommend “Strange Fatality”. I’ve long championed that that was where the war was decided

@ksm_wilson @CraigBaird True. Most in that time didn’t really give much consideration to nationalism because they were mostly focused on scratching out a living/legacy.
