As I mentioned yesterday this book was waiting for me on my return from Edinburgh. As I began to read it and look at the maps and illustrations I was aware this was an excellent purchase. Written by Donald E Graves, it reads well and is well written. Someone has recommended his 1812 books to me too but I haven’t read any yet. The pictures are very well chosen and will aid my wee 54mm project along very nicely indeed…
Very interesting, I have never heard of this conflict before, as the saying goes, "every day is a school day" Will now have to do a bit of digging on it. Interested to see your take on it.
ReplyDeleteGlad to have provided something for you to explore further.
DeleteThat is an interesting book. I should be painting the Perry Royal Marines for this period [from the Carlist Wars range] but this has stalled while I concentrate on scenery.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing those inspirational pictures.

Glad you liked them. I look forward to seeing the scenery and figures…
DeleteAt least one of the Allan Mallinson "Matthew Harvey of the Light Dragoons" is set in Canada in a not too dissimilar period.

I have one or two of the early books at home so l will investigate…
ReplyDeleteIt's "A Regimental Affair" and set twenty years earlier in 1817. Book 4 I think
