Softcover, perfect bound, measures 11” x 8.5” with 185 pages. Full color photographs throughout.

This book details the firearms, swords, and accouterments of the American provincial soldiers during the French and Indian War, 1754-1763. Unlike their British counterparts, the American provincials were issued a wide range of weapons from standard British Long Land muskets and carbines to civilian rifles and fowlers. These were often old, used, and in poor condition, guns that were described by British officers as "of sorts for Provincial".

These weapons did not come only from British contractors and the Board of Ordnance, but from foreign countries such as Holland, Belgium, and France. Close-up views of maker's marks, proof marks, and significant details. Besides weapons, the accouterments used are also covered, including cartridge boxes, shot pouches, and powder horns.
