Gabriele Esposito presents a detailed overview of the military history of colonial North America during its early period, from the first colonial settlement in Jamestown to the end of the first continental war fought in America. It follows the development of organization and uniforms not only for the British colonies in North America but also for those of the French in Canada. Every colonial unit formed by Europeans in the New World, as well as the regular forces sent to America by Britain and France, are covered in detail: from the first militias of the Thirteen Colonies to the expeditionary forces formed during the War of the Spanish Succession. Significant military events, such as King Philip's War or Bacon's Rebellion, are analyzed, and the evolution of the tactics used in this theater is discussed, showing how warfare was influenced by the topography and conditions in America. Many of the illustrations, including colored artworks, depict the early military uniforms worn in North America, as well as interesting details about the weapons and equipment used.
