The 104th (New Brunswick) Regiment of Foot is long remembered for its perilous March through the wilderness of New Brnswick to the battlefields of Upper Canada during the War of 1812. A British unit, the 104th drew its members from New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Upper and Lower Canada, and the British Isles and fought to defend the colonies from foreign aggression. The regiment raided the American naval base at Sackets Harbor, New York, fought against the invading Americans in the Niagara Peninsula, and saw action in the Battles of Beaver Dams and Lundy's Lane and the Siege of Fort Erie.

Here, for the first time, is the story of the 104th, the only regular regiment of the British Army to be raised and employed on the North American continent during the Napoleonic Wars and the War of 1812.

The 104th (New Brunswick) Regiment of Foot in the War of 1812 is volume 21 of the New Brunswick Military Heritage Series.
