Bereik en inhoud
Subseries consists of correspondence to and from members of the Wentworth Historical Society, and various individuals and government officials such as the Minister of Militia and Defense, regarding the construction of monuments in Stoney Creek and at Burlington Heights in honour of the soldiers who fought and died during the War of 1812. The letters mention the importance of preserving the battlefield and other locations of importance during the war, the proposed site locations for the memorials, as well as requests for grant money to help build the memorial monuments. There is also some correspondence regarding the dispute between the Wentworth Historical Society and the Women’s Wentworth Historical Society over the location of one of the proposed monument sites.
