"Recollections of the War of 1812" by Dr. William Dunlop is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book reflects on the author's personal experiences during the War of 1812, detailing his observations and insights as a surgeon and soldier in the conflict. Likely presented with a blend of both seriousness and humor, the narrative addresses the challenges faced by the soldiers and the sociopolitical dynamics of the time. The opening of the work introduces the reader to Dr. Dunlop's early journey to Canada in August 1813, as he recalls his departure from the Isle of Wight to join his regiment, emphasizing the disorganization and character of military society he encountered. Dunlop discusses his lengthy, uncomfortable voyage to Quebec, the state of military recruitment, and the rather tedious elements encountered during the journey. Moreover, he presents his commanding officer, Colonel Donald McB----, providing a glimpse of their colorful military life and the fragmented state of Canadian society amid the war.
