Produced by Geoffrey Cowling
"The Campaigns of the British Army at Washington and New Orleans 1814-1815" by Rev. G. R. Gleig is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book provides a detailed narrative of the British military campaigns against the United States during the War of 1812, particularly focusing on the expeditions to Washington D.C. and New Orleans. An authentic recounting is promised, with insights drawn from the author's personal journal. At the start of the narrative, the author reflects on the sentiments among his comrades following the end of hostilities in Europe and the anticipation of being deployed to America for further military engagement. He describes the transition from a state of war in Europe to the looming challenges of the American campaign, highlighting the mix of relief and concern felt by the soldiers as they contemplate their potential roles in the conflict. Gleig emphasizes the significance of their experiences, aiming to preserve the actions and sufferings of those involved in the campaigns, regardless of the disheartening nature of the events that transpired.
