The Military Campaigns
The military campaigns in Upper and Lower Canada, like the rebellions themselves, have almost always been treated separately. The books by Mary Beacock Fryer and Elinor Kyte Senior are both excellent. Each contains clear and concise maps, lists of units engaged (both British regulars and militia), names of officers and so on. For the border raids and skirmishes in Upper Canada in 1838, Donald Graves' Guns Across the River: the Battle of the Windmill (2001), under The Rebellions in Upper Canada, 1837-1839 in the General Reference section, includes excellent summaries of these engagements.
