Book excerpt: Charles Hamilton Smith's illustrations of soldiers of the British Army are a faithful and delightful record of how Wellington's troops were uniformed and equipped. Wellington's Army presents a collection of these sought after plates in a special, large format and provides a superb evocation of British military uniforms during the closing years of the Peninsular War and at the epic battle of Waterloo. The plates, drawn from life and completed in 1814, cover all the branches of service including line infantry; light infantry and rifles; heavy and light cavalry; general officers; foreign troops; artillery and engineers; and cadets and veterans. Each plate is accompanied by an incisive text by the leading expert on Wellington's troops - Philip Haythornthwaite - which discusses the unit in question, the uniform and its significant features. Wellington's Army also includes an extensive introduction analyzing the evolution of the British Army of the period and examining the colorful life of Charles Hamilton Smith.

Regiments that served in the American War of Independence are noted and the book includes more than 200 full-color plates of uniforms and distinctions.

Book excerpt: From Book: Reports in Mackinac History and Archeology: This series is designed to provide a format for the publication of substantial reports relating to the Straits of Mackinac, Michigan. As the continued research efforts of the staff of the Mackinac State Historic Parks produce studies of the history and archeology of this region, they will be published in this series. Relevant papers by non-staff members will also be included. Research by the Mackinac State Historic Parks is primarily directed toward the restoration, reconstruction, and interpretation of the historic sites of Fort Michilimackinac, Fort Mackinac, Mill Creek, and other historic structure in Mackinaw City and Mackinac Island. It is also the purpose of our program to present the results of our research to both the general public and the scholar. Museum displays, live interpretation, and attractive publications serve to accomplish this goal in their own unique ways. This report illuminates another aspect of our heritage in a way we trust will be interesting and informative. David A Armour, General Editor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the theater of war, how important is costume? And in peacetime, what purpose does military spectacle serve? This book takes us behind the scenes of the British military at the height of its brilliance to show us how dress and discipline helped to mold the military man and attempted to seduce the hearts and minds of a nation while serving to intimidate civil rioters in peacetime. Often ridiculed for their constrictive splendor, British army uniforms of the early nineteenth century nonetheless played a powerful role in the troops' performance on campaign, in battle, and as dramatic entertainment in peacetime. Plumbing a wide variety of military sources, most tellingly the memoirs and letters of soldiers and civilians, Scott Hughes Myerly reveals how these ornate sartorial creations, combining symbols of solidarity and inspiration, vivid color, and physical restraint, enhanced the managerial effects of rigid discipline, drill, and torturous punishments, but also helped foster regimental esprit de corps. Encouraging recruitment, enforcing discipline within the military, and boosting morale were essential but not the only functions of martial dress. Myerly also explores the role of the resplendent uniform and its associated gaudy trappings and customs during civil peace and disorder--whether employed as public relations through spectacular free entertainment, or imitated by rioters and rebels opposing the status quo. Dress, drills, parades, inspections, pomp, and order: as this richly illustrated book conducts us through the details of the creation, design, functions, and meaning of these aspects of the martial image, it exposes the underpinnings of a mentality--and vision--that extends far beyond the military subculture into the civic and social order that we call modernity.
