Where Right and Glory Lead

The story of the battle of Lundy's Lane 1814 by Donald Graves. This is the key battle in my favourite part of the War of 1812, the campaign for the Niagara Peninsular. If detail is your thing, this book is right up your street. A clear and enjoyable account of the battle which is backed up with an examination of the opposing forces right down to the weaponry used. You will also find an extensive list of bibliographical references if you want to look into matters further.

Provincial officers

This is an AWI British command pack from http://www.perry-miniatures.com/ which I have painted up as Provincial line officers for my FIW Project. From left to right, they are from the Massachusets, New York and Connecticut Regiments.



Narratives of the French and Indian War


This two volume set is excellent if you want a 'boots on the ground' feel for this conflict. It conveys, very well,  the great distances involved and also the hardships suffered by the people, both civilian and military.
