To mark the 450th book in the Men-at-Arms series we return to the subject of the very first book in the series; which was published nearly 35 years ago. Author of 27 other Men-at-Arms titles René Chartrand uses newly discovered material to offer a more modern analysis of the American Provincial Corps in this book; American Loyalist Troops. Packed with new photographs; completely new and up-to-date text and illustrations from Gerry Embleton (the much-loved illustrator of over 60 Osprey titles) this book examines the history of the American volunteers who fought on the side of King George in the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783). In total something between 30;000 and 50;000 of these "Tories" served in dozens of units; on all fronts from Canada to Florida; and many regiments distinguished themselves in battle. After the final British defeat the survivors and their families withdrew; many into Canada; where they continued to provide a loyal militia to defend the Crown territory. This book will provide updated and comprehensive information on unit identities; commanders; strengths; areas of enlistment; combat record; tactics; uniforms and equipment.
