Reviews

""British Forces in North America 1793-1815" covers the dress and units active in North America during the timeframe. This Osprey title contains great information on not just the British Forces but the "Canadian Units" including provincial, incorporated, volunteer, fencible, select embodied and sedentary militias... a great adddition to the library of anyone interested in North American military history, the illustrations are first rate and the overview provided by the text and plate descriptions is a fast way to come to terms with the dress, terminology, and style of the times." -Captain Zane Piekenbrock, "Canadian Army Journal " (Winter 2006)
