"As members of the Glengarry Light Infantry, an 1812 reenactment group out of the Niagara region. We all would like to Congratulate Professor Robert Livesay on his Fantastic movie "1812 The Forgotten War." We attended the premier on Friday, April 12/96 at Sheridan College in Oakville, Ontario...And we Loved it! Over the past 2 years he has been filming reenactments all over Ontario and the U.S. with miles of footage, his editing is fantastic.... He has included British/Canadian, American, Native Americans, Fur Traders, Women & Children of this era, and has done it Effectively! This Movie is a must see for all!
