"Scholars and history buffs alike should appreciate this bibliography. Fredriksen has assembled more than 5,000 book and periodical citations on all aspects of the War of 1812. He has also identified and briefly described some 110 relevant manuscript collections. ... The manuscripts chapter is perhaps the work's most unusual feature and serves as a nice introduction for those interested in this type of source. Three appendixes, including a list of wartime newspapers, complete this bibliography. A comprehensive tool for public, undergraduate, and graduate libraries."
