ABSTRACT
Concerned mostly with political, diplomatic, and military events. Despite occasional errors, known prejudices, and the subsequent availability of considerable Canadian and British materials, the Adams account remains one of the best ones of the War of 1812. See especially volumes 3-9. This has also been abridged with an introduction by George Dangerfield and Otey M. Scruggs into two volumes retaining the original title (Englewood Cliffs, N.J.: Prentice-Hall, 1963). It has also been excerpted, mostly concerning military affairs, and edited by H. A. De Weerd as The War of 1812 (Washington, D.C.: Infantry Journal Press, 1944).
