New book alert!
Mine as it happens.
Big news. My newest and biggest book yet is available for pre-order. It tells the story of the Gulf Coast Campaign of the American Revolution from all sides, and looks at the bigger picture too. Would love it if you can find room for it on your shelf oupress.com/9780806197722/ga…

‘An I saw MacDonald an his men
As they marched frae Skye.'
New digital sketch I messed around with depicting Highlanders & Islemen of MacDonald’s host which fought against Mar’s knights at the great battle of Harlaw in 1411.
At this point with so many P&P’s out there, why make another at this rather bland looking level… I mean the entire tag line might as well be, ‘why?’
I haven’t seen it yet. I’ve been in two minds about the Ike casting, but I was especially perplexed with the choice for Monty. I didn’t even realise who he was supposed to be in the trailer.

Historian Hive Mind:
Quelqu’un saurait-il si le carnet de Théodore Devin de Fontenay a déjà été publié ? Je n’en trouve aucune référence bibliographique.
Does anyone know whether Devin de Fontenay’s 1812 diary has ever been published? I haven’t been able to find any references to it. It’s a short and very concise work (I only wish he had been a more verbose!), but it contains a few interesting details, particularly on the movements of Beaumont’s cuirassier brigade in 1812.
Bearing in mind (pardon the pun) that back in those days every frame had to be redrawn, and especially because Christopher Robin is wearing upper clothes and shoes.
