The substantial first-person record of the war comes primarily from the educated classes — officers and their wives. Two exceptions to this are the excellent memoirs written by of the British foot solider, Shadrach Byfield, and the American militiaman, William Atherton. Their experiences encompass the full experience of war — battles, injuries, imprisonment and aftermath. Most of the journals were written by men, but several diaries and letter collections from women survive, notably of Mrs. Josiah Lydia B. Bacon, wife of the U.

Her graphic description of the assault on Fort Detroit is featured in the documentary. The more famous quotes are from first lady Dolley Madison, whose letters to her sister, Lucy, are the basis for her well-known account of the burning of Washington. Herein are selections from the journals and correspondence of some who fought in the war or observed it at close hand.

Day was just glimmering. The cannon from both sides roared incessantly, shells were bursting in the air, and the side of the mountain above Queenston was illumined by the continual discharge of small arms. The last circumstance convinced us that some part of the enemy had landed; and in a few moments, as day advanced, objects became visible, and we saw numbers of Americans in boats attempting to land upon our shore, amidst a shower of shot of all descriptions, which was skillfully and incessantly levelled at them.

The Mohawk Chief Joseph Brant employed Norton as an interpreter and eventually groomed him as his successor.

His knowledge of both British and Native ways, his military background, and his natural charisma made him a powerful warrior.
