Dig: A History Podcast

War of 1812 and the Burning of Buffalo


Listen Later

Buffalo NY Series, Episode #1 of 2. Most American history books devote a page at most to the War of 1812. It is often referred to as the forgotten war. However, scholarship on the war has exploded in recent years due to the 200th Anniversary of the beginning of the war in 2012. The War of 1812 may be a lesser known episode within the larger narrative of American history, but for inhabitants of Buffalo, NY and the surrounding region- the War of 1812 still holds a place of fascination and remembrance. Join Elizabeth Garner Masarik and Marissa Rhodes as they revisit one of our older History Buffs podcast and discuss the War of 1812 and how the Burning of Buffalo transformed this once frontier town overnight.
