British North America 1864

This year, 2014 is the 150th Anniversary of the Charlottetown Conference, the beginnings of Canadian confederation.  This blog will go over the history of the founding of my home and native land.


It will also cover the various militia units which were formed in replication of the volunteer movement in Great Britain.


The Snider-Enfield rifle was the service weapon I was issued with while as a Private in the 78th Highlanders, the Rosshire Buffs.

This blog will cover my games and reference books of the period. Eventually I will be restructuring the posts with my own pictures from my own collection once back in Canada.
