American Indian Warrior Chiefs - Tecumseh, Crazy Horse, Chief Joseph, Geronimo - by Jason Hook and Richard Hook

European settlement of North America was soon accompanied by violent conflict with the native peoples, dubbed Indians by the colonists.

Often embittered and incensed by broken treaties and shattered promises, Indian tribes rose up to resist encroachment and theft of their lands. In almost every case, they were led by remarkable and charismatic warrior chiefs.

This volume tells the true stories of four great champions of their people; resolute and powerful men whose military campaigns, though often reluctantly commenced, were brilliantly executed. It tells of their cultur, heritage and way of life, all of which were at stake in the bitter and bloody fighting.

Over 100 photographs, line illustrations and maps accompany a detailed text, with dramatic incidents captured in 16 exciting paintings.

The French and Indian War 1754-1763, The Imperial Struggle for North America by Seymour I Schwartz

This book presents, for the first time, a description of the battles and engagements of the war complemented by contemporary maps, drawings, and engravings of troop movements, views of forts, and portraits of participants. This book contains 118 illustrations, many from the author's own collection, as well as from public and private sources in the United States, Canada and Europe.

The French and Indian War, also called the Great War for the Empire, changed the map of North America. The battles that occurred between 1753 and 1760 took more lives than the American War of Independence, making the French and Indian War the bloodiest conflict fought on American soil in the eighteenth century.

The war pitted the French and their Indian allies against the English colonists and their Indian allies along the Atlantic seaboard in an attempt to gain possession of the Ohio Valley. Warriors of legendary and even heroic stature faced each other. The war afforded George Washington his first command of troops. It saw the exploits of Captain Robert Rogers and his Rangers and the dominant role of Sir William Johnson, the great Indian agent in New York colony. It saw the deaths of Louis-Joseph de Montcalm and James Wolfe on the Plains of Abraham as the British captured Quebec. It erased France's political influence form the continent and established English dominance east of the Mississippi and in Canada. And it set the stage for the American Revolution and the establishment of the United States of America.

Louisbourg 1758, Wolfe's First Siege by René Chartrand

Louisbourg represented a major threat to Anglo-American plans to invade Canada. Bypassing it would leave an immensely powerful enemy base astride the Anglo-American lines of communication - Louisbourg had to be taken. The siege itself was a tremendous pounding match. Faced with strong beach defences and rough weather, it took six days to land the troops and was only achieved by a stroke of daring on the part of a young Brigadier named James Wolfe, who managed to turn the French beach position. The story is largely based on first-hand accounts from the journals of several participants including General Amherst and the French Governor Drucour, whose excellent account has never been published.

San Juan Hill 1898 by Angus Konstam

Labelled a 'splendid little war' by Senator John Hay, the Spanish American War was a peculiar event in America's history, provoked as much by the press as by political pressures. Here, aided by superbly detailed maps and artwork, the author deals with the clashes at Las Guasimas and El Caney, the capture of San Juan Hill, and the naval battle and siege of Santiago. The war was to mark the end of Spanish sovereignty in her 'New World', and the establishment of the United States of America as a world power.

The Alamo 1836, Santa Anna's Texas Campaign by Stephen L. Hardin

On the morning of 6 March 1836 around 1,100 Mexican soldiers under Genralissimo Santa Anna stormed a small mission outside San Antonio, Texas, and slaughtered the garrison of around 200 Texans.  It was not a large battle but its significance vastly outweighed its size for the name of the mission was the Alamo.  Less than two months later Santa Anna's force was smashed at San Jacinto by a volunteer army whose battle cry was "Remember the Alamo".  Stephen Hardin details the climactic 1836 campaign which won Texas her independence.

Ivan Berryman - Battle of Britain Art

Artist Ivan Berryman has been producing many pencil drawings depicting scenes from the Battle of Britain. Each of these is signed by one of the pilots who was actually present at the battle, and is often inspired by the events they took part in themselves. Special signed print editions have also been created from existing full colour print editions, with some featuring multiple pilot signatures. You can find all of Ivan's Battle of Britain artwork on his website - www.ivanberryman.com, or see a full list of pencil drawings - updated regularly, in our dedicated section of pencil drawings.

When you go to a product page for an item in our shop, click on the names of the pilots where they are linked in the text for an item to see a profile page for that pilot. Often we include photos of signing sessions along with details of their flying career, and a full list of all items signed by the pilot.

Pilot Signed Battle of Britain Prints and Original Pencil Drawings

Commemorating the 70th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain

We are busy building up a portfolio of many many original pencil drawings which depict events from the Battle of Britain, the famous air battle won by 'the Few' in the summer of 1940. The British and Commonwealth pilots defended the air above Britain and the surrounding seaways from the might of the German Luftwaffe. Greatly outnumbered, the bravery of these young pilots saved the country from invasion, and let Britain survive to go on to defeat Germany. Without that first crucial victory, the outcome of the war could have been so very different. We have been busy arranging signing sessions with the few pilots who fought in that great battle who remain with us to this day. Our newly commissioned pencil drawings are often based on the descriptions of the battle by these great men, and are authenticated by their signatures. We have also had several editions of existing prints signed in full, or have signatures added to parts of existing editions. We have also incoporated signatures of some of the German pilots who also took part in the battle, some of whom went on to become top scoring aces of the war. See our Original Pencil Drawings Section - particularly the section of artists David Pentland and Ivan Berryman. Also, see our New Signature Editions section to see all of our newly signed editions.
