Dear Bernard In regards to your next book you mentioned that it was in Maine, is it this battle (with out wanting to give it it away too much and naming it)? I found this on a website: http://www.redcoat.me.uk/page15.htm.

And after recently re-reading Redcoat you have got Sam Gilpin and all the Light Infantry wearing tricorns and Grenadiers wearing Bearskins yet LI had long discarded tricorns as unsuitable for woodland fighting and used small caps while Grenadiers only wore the Bearskins for Guard Duty and Parades and the workaday Grenadier (and the rest of the redcoats in the British army) used unstitched floppy hats.

And have you ever seen the Patriot and wondered what you thought of it and there takes on Marion and Tarleton??

Finally ever thought of books on either the 1775 siege of Qubec and Carleton and Arnold or Guildford Courtouse a real slug fest of a battle?? Yours sincerely Geraint

P.S If you have not read it A strange Fatality The battle of Stoney Creek by James Elliot is quite good. And have you ever thought of even just one book on the war of 1812 it seems wrong to ignore it when its a big part of the Napoleonic wars. Geraint
