Although I am not about to embark on a new period, (currently painting 28mm Napoleonics) I would be grateful if anyone has any information about American uniforms during the war of 1812. The British and Canadian forces are relatively easy to research but the United States units are another matter entirely.

Cheers

There's an Osprey MAA that was updated a few years ago, so should be reasonable quality.

Try the Company of Military Historians website:-

The numbers highlighted in blue are viewable.

Hi Edward,

A pity you were unable to make Little Wars on Sunday.

Nic was asking after you!

Cheers,
