French Fortresses in North America


 Every major and minor fort the French constructed from Louisbourg to Louisiana is covered. Amazingly how far they got. And how far inland some of the stone forts actually were. As well, it shows how parts of the present USA were actually parts of New France until the loss of Montreal in 1760

The British Army in North America 1775-1783

Why 2 copies of the same book? At one time I had 3 and my father has a 4th!
I bought the reprinted issue for the colour plates. 
These volumes centers on British Regiments which served in North America. The original Osprey series was limited to uniforms, how advanced its now become is mind boggling

American Independence War Commanders

 

I bought this in Tokyo of all places. Gives a good biography of the main commanders. 


French army of the American War of Independence

 

One of the books I bought many years ago. I've used this volume to paint up several troops particularly Grenadiers for Luzons Legion.
Once I get a chance to check my French troops I'll post some pictures in another post 

British Light Infantry of the Seven Years War

 

One of the books I got during my MA research. I've painted up several companies for my Louisbourg and Quebec British force.

The 22nd Regiment served at both Louisbourg and Quebec. However only the Grenadiers went to Quebec.
