Kilted Soldier Print

[BoldHighlander]

So far as any research I have found or paid for, the 71st left very few records, and a lot is based on what others wore, or stories. Don Troiani did a famous print with a Pte. of the 71st wearing trews made from his kilt.

I've corresponded with Troiani on few occasions over the years (concerning mainly Ame. Civil War). He has a very extensive collection of historical notes, diaries, etc. The research he does regarding his subjects is amazing. Most often he'll take years before putting brush to canvas. I (& a large number of other ACW students) wish he'd publish his notes, especially concerning the ACW. He can even tell you what color horse a given officer was riding at a given battle on a given day/hour!?
I'd like to see his notes regarding his 71st creation.

He was wounded, and sent to serve with the Royal Garrison Btn. in Bermudia. I have copys of his discharge papers, and he took a land grant here in Nova Scotia, founding my home town.

Nice treasure to have
The earliest copies of anything I managed to obtain thus far are my 5th great grandfather's (Scobee) muster in the Kentucky mounted militia during the War of 1812.

Play fair or I'll talk about the Swamp Fox.. lol

ha!ha!
Actually Tarleton is one of my favorite "characters" from the conflict.

The problem with all of these, like I pointed out earlier is that artists tend to make things "better", adding this or that, and just making what was apear grander, and larger than life and how they think it should look.

Oh, I quite agree...and thanks for posting a clearer picture of the print
I notice that he has a diced band on his bonnet
Well, it's still a very nice print & I'd be proud of the find
