Administrative History:
Fred Drake was characterized by his energy, wit, humour, courage and
integrity. His academic career was distinguished by his love of
research. Although this research carried him throughout the world he
never strayed too far from his roots in the shipbuilding town of
Barrow-in-Furness in Lancashire, England as his research often
included ships and the sea.
Drake’s education as a Historian began at the University of
Manchester in London, England where he received his BA and later an
MA. After completing this preliminary education Drake was
employed at the University College in London and then at the
University of the West Indies in Jamaica each lasting a year. Upon
completion of his short employment Drake returned to school to
receive his PhD from Cornell University in the United States of
America. Upon completion of his PhD Drake went back overseas to
teach at University College of Aberystwyth in Wales. Then in 1970
Drake came back to North America and began teaching at Brock
University.
While at Brock Drake became a significant part of University life. He
became chair of the history department and the University Senate as
well as a member of the Board of Trustees. He was well liked by both
faculty and as his dedication, energy and humour kept spirits elevated.
Drake also contributed to the academic community while at Brock
University through his research and publications, some of which
included;
* The Empire Of The Seas : A Biography Of Rear Admiral
Robert Wilson Shufeldt, USN
* A collection of documents on The War of 1812 in the
Niagara Peninsula (1981),
* 10 scholarly articles; including an early re-examination of
witchcraft in colonial America in the American Quarterly
[1968] and Ottawa River Canals and the Defense of British
North America in Canadian Historical Review
* More than 80 encyclopedia articles
Drake RG 73 p. 3
* Numerous book reviews
* Frequent conference papers and lectures
* Service on many conference panels.
* Two lengthy manuscripts—one on naval operations in the
War of 1812, the second on the Lake and Rivers War in the
same conflict—awaited editing at the time of his death.
Shortly after his retirement from teaching at Brock University at
age 65, Drake passed away. On June 18, 2002, Drake lost his
battle with myelodysplasia, a blood disorder related to cancer of
the bone marrow on June 18, 2002. Although a difficult disease to
cope with Drake handled it as he handled most things in his life,
with courage, and a positive outlook.
Scope and Content: Materials related to military operations of the 1812-era, research of
the late Dr. Frederick C. Drake, of the History Department at
Brock University. Original folder titles, pertaining to an
institutions call numbers, were retained and appear in parenthesis
after the given folder title. The folders were placed into the Series
and/or Sub-series which coincided with its original title. Folder
titles contain the title of the material as well as the institution from
which it derived in order for proper accreditation to be given,
before materials are used and/or cited in a publication. Folders
titled ―Individual or Family Papers‖ contain numerous different
collections of letters from the Institution marked on the folder.
When the bulk of the materials belong to one collection it is noted
in the finding aid. All publications which the University did not
hold were placed in series IV. If the University had access to the
publications they were removed from the collection and noted in
the separated materials category with their call numbers. The
second manuscript The War for the Inland Seas: The Naval War of
1812 on the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River was
incomplete when Dr. Drake passed away. His widow, Valerie
Drake cleaned up the manuscript before donating it to Brock.
The current manuscript reflects both Dr. and Mrs. Drake’s work.
