The March issue of the Friends of Fort York’s quarterly newsletter, Fife and Drum, has just been released. The contents include:
- Student Essay on First Nations involvement in the War of 1812
- How Fort York is been knitted into a continuous new neigbourhood
- Book and artifact reviews
- Looking towards the 200th anniversary of the Battle of York on April 27th
Plus lots more. All free!
You can download a PDF of the current issue here. But you can also go here to subscribe to Fife and Drum, so it will arrive in your inbox. Here you’ll also find back issues of Fife and Drum to download.
Fife & Drum lists upcoming events and recent goings-on at the fort, but it also has, since the Friends began publishing it in 1996, exhaustively researched essays and stories about the fort, Toronto and related history. Both myself and Spacing’s Matt Blackett serve as volunteer directors on the Friends of Fort York board, the volunteer advocacy organization that has helped look after the interests of City of Toronto’s premier museum site.
