New Book: "A Soldier Like Way"
This post was on the RevList today. I thought I would share it with you. The author, Ryan Gale, leads a company of the 44th of Foot, who fought at Braddock's Defeat.
New book: "A Soldier Like Way"
This new book from Ryan Gale is the most comprehensive work on the British infantry material culture to date, brimming with exquisite full color photos of original artifacts and paintings. The story of the British infantry, their daily life, weapons, tools, food, and clothing is described in the soldier's own words, utilizing
entries from original journals, orderly books, and official papers, all of which are fully cited.
The 11" by 8-1/2" horizontal layout allows for 22" long spreads of original muskets and swords. Includes images of original uniforms, muskets, pistols, swords, eating utensils, canteens, haversacks, gaitors, halberds, hangers, smallswords, officer's fusils, medical devises, and more.
Artifacts and paintings were taken from public and private collections throughout the United States, Britain, and Canada, including the Royal Collection, Colonial Williamsburg, Fort Ticonderoga, Fort Ligonier, Fortress Louisbourg, Fort Pitt, and
Jummonville Glen.
Also included, the complete series of grenadier paintings by David Morier, shown in high resolution, full color. These important paintings have never before been published in their entirety and in color, and are here presented in high-resolution full color.
A must-have for the mid 18th century historian, collector, reenactor, and artist.
137 pages, paperbound, 11" by 8-1/2" format, full color photos. By
