I just watched this very good documentary about the war of 1812 done by TVO.

The West? Sorry Brian but the west starts at the Rockies.....

 

 

The link works for me and there is not much more West from here

 

Hope all is well as winter approaches the East....

How about the title might be able to find it on Hulu or Netflix.

The title is "A Desert Between Us and Them".

I wonder why the link won't work? It works every time I tried it.

I found the documentary very interesting and learned a lot. Living in the middle of where the war took place makes it even more interesting for me.

So far I looked on Amazon, Netflix, and Hulu and it's not listed on any of them. Guess it's gonna be a while before we can see it down here. I'd love to see it. Lots of folks in the states know nothing about that war, or that we invaded Canada.

That's one the US would rather forget since it didn't quite work out the way it was supposed to!!!

DIDN'T THE BATTLE OF 1812, RUN ALONG BETWEEN LAKE CHAMPLAIN. as far south as fort Ticonderoga. which becomes the Hudson River.

The fort in Champlain, is said to have a tunnel running under the water, to an out building, in the middle of the lake. There is a large plaque at the entrance of the mouth of the Saranac river, with the story of the war. we used to dive Lake Champlain, for cannon shots,coin, and there is even a horse drone barge on the Vermont side of the lake.

Fort Ticonderoga was used during the British and French Wars, The French and Indian Wars then the American Revolution. After the American Revolution it was abandoned.

doesn't matter, the diving is why I was up there.

I guess they must have somehow limited who can look at it. Maybe something to do with telecommunication rules but who knows????
