The Siege of Quebec

This account by John Knox is the definitive, first person, account of the campaign to take Quebec in 1759 and comes beautifully bound and in a lovely Folio Society box. Knox also goes on to describe the battle of Sainte Foy and was present when Montreal capitulated. Another notable character featured in the tale is an, at the time, little known mariner by the name of James Cook. If you're going to read any account of the battle for Quebec, this is the one to read.

Library

In the coming weeks, I shall gradually be compiling a list and basic synopsis of books focusing on North American warfare. Hopefully this will be of use and I would also welcome suggestions for additions to this list. I may also have the odd obscure references which I picked up at various fortresses and historic sites.
These publications will be found in the 'Library' section on my blog.

Redoubt scalpers set no4

This is the fourth and penultimate set of scalpers from Redoubt Enterprises.

Savage Wilderness

This novel by Harold Coyle isn't half bad. The central figure is a '45 refugee and we follow his trials and tribulations through the French and Indian War. It doesn't do anything special but it is an enjoyable read. He has also written some novels about the American Civil War.
ps Isn't that cover awful? Glad my copy doesn't look like that.

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.

This is the third of the scalping dioramas from http://www.redoubtenterprises.com/.
I just have two more to paint to complete the set of five.
