Hello All,
As I mentioned a few weeks ago, we have gone ahead and organized a
General Session on the War of 1812 for the 2012 Annual Meeting in
Baltimore, MD.
We currently have a pretty good group of papers, but would welcome
any others that might be interested. I have attached the Symposium
title and abstract. If any of you are interested in participating,
please let me know ASAP.
July 10 is the drop-dead date for submitting paper abstracts to the
computerized system!
Thanks, Mark
Two Centuries On: Historical Archaeology and the War of 1812
Lasting from only 1812-15, America's "second war of independence" had
a profound effect on the young nation. While these effects were most
obvious in relation to contemporary relations with Canada and Great
Britain, perhaps more profound were its long-term effects on
America's relations with Native American communities, who largely
sided with the British. Despite the relatively short-term nature of
the conflict, nearly the entire country was affected - from the
Atlantic Coast to the Mississippi Valley, and from the Great Lakes
and Old Northwest to the Gulf Coast. This session will provide a
sampling of current research on War of 1812 sites from a wide variety
of geographical contexts.
