US Army, 1812-15 (Men-at-arms S.) Book

An exploration of the American Army between 1812 and 1814. It concentrates exclusively on the regular US Army units which formed the backbone of the forces which fought the British along the Canadian frontier and at New Orleans in the war which saw the British burn Washington and inspired Francis Scott Key to write "The Star Spangled Banner". This volume revises and replaces one half of "Men-at-arms" Volume 226, "The American War 1812-14" which detailed the British and US forces in this conflict at a more superficial level.Read More

  • Product Description

    The War of 1812 was the true making of the regular regiments and corps of the US Army. Three years' fighting against Britain saw the White House burned down ? but also the bloody repulse of the redcoats, then the best infantry in the world, on a number of battlefields. The small constabulary force which entered the war ? ill-led, ill-supported, and with an uncertain system of supply ? ended it as a professional army with a system of command and services equal to any. This meticulous history of the uniforms of the American regulars is illustrated with many previously unseen paintings and photographs.
