Good morning from Northern California where the weather here is almost summer like and for those that love Baseball, everyone has suddenly become a Giants Fan.
Today we are expecting the new John Jenkins November releases to arrive, so we hope to have these available later today.
We decided to do this announcement earlier than normal so you can add to your Christmas wish list. The good news is that we have many terrific new releases so you will not be disappointed.
As always hope to have them on the web site later this morning.

BATTLE Of FORT CARILLON, TICONDEROGA, 8th JULY 1758
The 42nd (Royal Highland) Regiment of Foot was an infantry regiment of the British Army. Originally the 43rd Highlanders, they were renumbered the 42nd in 1748.
After the 1715 Jacobite Rising the British government did not have the resources or manpower to keep a standing army in the Scottish highlands. As a result, they were forced to keep order by recruiting men from local Highland clans that had been loyal to the Whigs. This proved to be unsuccessful in deterring crime, especially cattle rustling, so independent companies (of what would be known as the Black Watch) were raised as a militia in 1725 by George Wade to keep "watch" for crime, and “Black” which came from the dark tartan that they wore.
in 1881, when the 42nd amalgamated with the 73rd Regiment of Foot, the new regiment was named 'The Black Watch (Royal Highlanders)'.

KNIGHTS OF THE SKIES
The Fokker Dr.I Dreidecker (triplane) was built by Fokker-Flugzeugwerke. The Dr.I saw widespread service in the spring of 1918.
It became renowned as the aircraft in which Manfred von Richthofen gained his last 20 victories, and in which he was killed on 21 April 1918.
Compared to the Albatros and Pfalz fighters, the Dr.I offered exceptional maneuverability. Though the ailerons were not very effective, the rudder and elevator controls were light and powerful. Rapid turns, especially to the right, were facilitated by the triplane's marked directional instability. Vizefeldwebel Franz Hemer of Jasta 6 said, "The triplane was my favorite fighting machine because it had such wonderful flying qualities. I could let myself stunt — looping and rolling — and could avoid an enemy by diving with perfect safety. The triplane had to be given up because although it was very maneuverable, it was no longer fast enough.

THE JACOBITE REBELLION 1745
Before the populist uprising known as the Jacobite Rising of 1745. Lochaber axes were relegated to the Scottish constabulary, and were somewhat viewed as the police baton of the day.
Many of the Prince's army equipped themselves with Lochaber axes, until such a time they could discard the axes for captured muskets and bayonets or arms supplied by the French.
In hand-to-hand combat, the axe, in common with other polearms such as the halberd, has a spike on the end, to be used on close combat in a thrusting motion. The axe on the side, coupled with the long pole, delivered a powerful blow to infantry or dismounted cavalry.
Finally, the hook on the back allowed infantry to hook the cavalry off their horses. To accomplish this, as the cavalry charged, the highlanders would suddenly change formation from a large body, into smaller bodies of men with clear channels between them. The horses would naturally go into these channels, and the foot soldiers would hook the cavalry off their horses, then use their axes on them with devastating effect. The hook supposedly could also be used for scaling walls.
