Table of Contents

This book boldly displays the firearms, swords, and accouterments of the American provincial soldiers during the French and Indian War, 1754-1763. Unlike their British counterparts, the American provincials were issued a wide range of weapons from standard British Long Land muskets and carbines to civilian rifles and fowlers. These were often old, used, and in poor condition, guns that were described by British officers as "of sorts for Provincial".

These weapons did not come only from British contractors and the Board of Ordnance, but from foreign countries such as Holland, Belgium, and France. Each style of long arm came with a unique bayonet, many of which are shown throughout the book. Original examples of these unique weapons, as well as excavated pieces, are shown from public and private collections throughout the country.

Close-up views of the unique maker's marks, proof marks, top views, and detail views show features rarely revealed. Long arms, a variety of swords, knives, pole-arms, and pistols were used by the American soldiers. Besides weapons, the accouterments used by the soldiers are also covered, including cartridge pouches and boxes, shot pouches, powder horns, powder measures, and cleaning tools.

A native of Virginia, Jim Mullins has exhaustively researched this subject, utilizing original journals, orderly books, and official military records housed on both sides of the Atlantic. The results have been meticulously broken down by year and by colony. He tells the story of the many problems encountered while arming the American colonial soldiers, by using actual quotes from the correspondence of the British officers. Some of the quotes are harsh critiques of the undisciplined American soldiers and volunteers.

Showcased in high resolution, full color, all images were made by photographer and author Ryan R. Gale whose companion book, A Soldier-Like Way has become a favorite on French and Indian War arms of the British Infantry. Also included are many original paintings, drawings, and maps from a variety of American museums and collectors. Printed in landscape format, the 11 x 8-1/2" format allows for beautiful wide color photos, on the fine coated paper. Long guns and swords are shown in wide views, up to 22" wide across-the-gutter.

Important early antique guns from the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, the Jim Mullins collection, the Wallace Gusler collection, and many private collections are shown in the beautiful photographs by Ryan Gale. Author Jim Mullins has created "Of Sorts for Provincials", American Weapons of the French and Indian War. One glimpse will reveal that this book was a true labor-of-love.

Good quality good price.
At under $10/qt for high quality marine full synthetic, this is one of the best deals on Amazon. Other marine oils are upwards of $20/qt where I live and having twin outboards that require a total of 8.5qts each every change, that is a real savings. The other great thing about this oil is it’s packaging. The shape of the container and the pull out spout make it easy to pour. I don’t need to use a funnel with these and I didn’t spill a drop.

High quality oil
Liquid moly oil is great stuff. I bought this for my Honda 9.9 outboard. I’m sure non marine grade oil would have been fine, but for the price and quality of this oil why not use it.

Quality!
I’ve used Liqui Moly in all my cars. Now that they have oils for Marine, that’s the only oil I’ll use from now on for my boats. Not only they’re made in Germany but they also have the FCW approval, Perfect!

Best full synthetic oil I ever used.
This oil I use in my outboard and I also buy another wt oil for my car. My cars mileage went up 2-3 consistent MPG on the digital mileage counter and use in my 2020 Merc 40hp and the outboard runs smoother and oil stays clean longer. Confident in this oil better than re-branded oils and higher cost. This oil exceeds by far manufactures oil ratings. Use high quality oil filters also.
