American Loyalist Troops 1775–84
Description
To celebrate the 450th title in the Men-at-Arms series, this book examines in unprecedented depth the units and the uniforms of a still-controversial army: the many thousands of American colonists who chose to fight for King George during the Revolution.
As well as the better-known corps from the Atlantic seaboard, the author covers the units raised for service against the Spanish in the Floridas, the Caribbean islands and Central America. The text is illustrated with portraits, photographs of rare surviving artefacts, and with color reconstructions by Gerry Embleton, the respected expert on 18th century American forces whose work has been exhibited in the Smithsonian Institute.
A fascinating overview of a forgotten piece of history, this is the story of the American volunteers for the British cause during the American Revolutionary War.
