Table of Contents

This book boldly displays 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. Each style of long arm came with a unique bayonet, many of which are shown throughout the book. Original examples of these unique weapons, as well as excavated pieces, are shown from public and private collections throughout the country.

Close-up views of the unique maker's marks, proof marks, top views, and detail views show features rarely revealed. Long arms, a variety of swords, knives, pole-arms, and pistols were used by the American soldiers. Besides weapons, the accouterments used by the soldiers are also covered, including cartridge pouches and boxes, shot pouches, powder horns, powder measures, and cleaning tools.

A native of Virginia, Jim Mullins has exhaustively researched this subject, utilizing original journals, orderly books, and official military records housed on both sides of the Atlantic. The results have been meticulously broken down by year and by colony. He tells the story of the many problems encountered while arming the American colonial soldiers, by using actual quotes from the correspondence of the British officers. Some of the quotes are harsh critiques of the undisciplined American soldiers and volunteers.

Showcased in high resolution, full color, all images were made by photographer and author Ryan R. Gale whose companion book, A Soldier-Like Way has become a favorite on French and Indian War arms of the British Infantry. Also included are many original paintings, drawings, and maps from a variety of American museums and collectors. Printed in landscape format, the 11 x 8-1/2" format allows for beautiful wide color photos, on the fine coated paper. Long guns and swords are shown in wide views, up to 22" wide across-the-gutter.

Important early antique guns from the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, the Jim Mullins collection, the Wallace Gusler collection, and many private collections are shown in the beautiful photographs by Ryan Gale. Author Jim Mullins has created "Of Sorts for Provincials", American Weapons of the French and Indian War. One glimpse will reveal that this book was a true labor-of-love.

Works great. Good value.
Style: Type C Most of Europe - 3 Pack
Great except that it should also have a European fitting so that the lamp (or whatever) can also be connected again.

Multiple Outlets in One Plug
Style: Type C Most of Europe - 3 Pack
Highly recommend these. Multiple outlets in one plug with quick charging and flexibility. Great having three of them as my husband used one, while I had another. No issues with compatibility in Paris and easy to input

Quality and security-oriented wallet
Color: Adventure Brown - Forest Brown
This is a neatly constructed wallet. The material of the leather feels satisfying to carry unlike previous wallets. This wallet consists of many card slots, and allows ease of access between them. The wallet can fit checks, cash and is just a nice layout and style to be able to look through it. Because some of our cards support RFID and NFC technology, bad actors can try to steal our credentials. This wallet has a material to mitigate these occurrences, but like anything in security whether it be physical security controls or the wide scope of cybersecurity, do not rely on it and try to be up-to-date with the trend. I am sure we would all want to be one step above in relation to keeping our credentials secure. Still, it is an excellently built wallet and I highly recommend it.
