Lossing, Pictorial Field-Book 0/the War 0/1812 (New York: Harper & Brothers, 1868), although not always accurate, is still unsurpassed for the wealth of detail and illustrations. For more specialized aspects of the conflict, the beSt chronicle of events leading up to war is Bradford Perkins, Prologue to War: Englandandtbe UnitedStates, 18051812 (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1961). The causes of the war are treated in Reginald Horsman, The Causes 0/tbe War 0/1812 (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 1962) and, from a more specific point of view, Roger H.
