The War of 1812 Commemoration Caravan rolls on...

If you are looking for an intelligent analysis of why Canada has been invaded by a cultural caravan of War of 1812 commemoration junkies (and even if you weren't looking, but now are just curious), then you can find it in a great post over on the activehistory blog. Ian McKay and Jamie Swift offer the best contextualization yet of the phenomenon. See it here.
And then look for their book in the fall with Between the Lines (for details see here).
