War of 1812: Redcoat's Lost Memoir Resurfaces, Rewrites History
A recently rediscovered memoir by British soldier Shadrack Byfield, who fought in the War of 1812, is challenging previously held, idealized perceptions of his post-military life. The memoir provides a rare, ground-level perspective on the conflict in North America, a war that, while smaller in scale than the Napoleonic Wars, significantly impacted ordinary people and shaped Anglo-American relations.
