Ahoy Anne Martin,
I’m working on a new Lake Ontario book with some 1812 War content in it. One chapter deals with two ‘natural’ disasters on Lake Ontario that involved the ill fated gunboats Hamilton and Scourge and that may have helped the Canadians at Cryslers Farm.
I am in need of some good graphics, and wonder if you could either forward this to
Peter Rindlisbacher or maybe supply contact information for him to me.
If there is a way for my publisher ( The History Press) to get permission to use one of his illustrations from that time I’d like to get in touch with him.
Thanks! Susan Peterson Gateley
Hi Susan: Peter lives in the Amherstburg area and can be contacted by email at rindli@explornet.com If this doesn’t work for any reason get back to me and I’ll chase down his address in my files. I’ll be interested in your book. Peter is a great guy to work with and his work is superb. Several paintings are in the Fort Malden Museum. He is also extremely knowledgeable on marine military tactics and lore of the period. Cheers. Anne

Greetings! I have written two songs in commemoration of the War of 1812:
1. The War of 1812
2. The Battle of Queenston Heights
I am interested in opportunities to perform mysongs as well as discuss aspects of the history to which they relate. I am also seeking investors or sponsors who may be interested in supporting my intention to produce and record these and other songs of interest with regard to Canada’s military history, past and present. I would like to connect with all interested parties. Thank you. marshallveal@telus.net
