No I haven’t. I do have an old, old US history book that I got from a used book store. The author has a nice, matter of fact writing style that is without the more subjective views that are found today. His description of the events leading up to the war of 1812 is interesting and describes a federal government that was looking for something to do. Popular opinion was influenced by events but there is an undercurrent of a government getting involved with the conflict between France and England and looking to be a player. It was written in 1935 so there may be some post WWI angst in his thinking.
