Good morning everyone and welcome to the very latest releases from John Jenkins.
Unfortunately he will not be in Chicago this year, but with a little bit of luck we hope to have most of the new releases there for you to see and maybe even buy.
We are introducing the first of the special club sets, they are on preview now, and available to order from us or your usually friendly JJ dealer. To obtain these you must be a member of JJ collectors club.
This set will only be available for members to pre-order, and the window closes on October 31st, 2009. This set will not be stocked by any dealer including us, so please do not miss out. Contact your dealer for more information
The new releases this month are terrific as usual, my favorite so far is this years Christmas set which is a must, the new Longhouse should also be part of any F& I Diorama.
Hope as always you like them, and we will have on the web site later today.

THE BATTLE ON SNOWSHOES
The casualty numbers for the French and Indian losses during the battle on Snowshoes have been somewhat elusive.
The numbers entered by Captain D’Hebecourt in his post battle report state that there were 8 indians killed, 17 wounded, and only 3 Canadians wounded.
(Information gathered a few months later from French prisoners revealed that the Indians alone had lost 27 killed and wounded)

THE RAID ON ST. FRANCIS
The first and largest of two Longhouses for the Woodland Indian Village
Longhouses were homes used by the Iroquois tribes. The Iroquois were farming people who lived in permanent villages
They were built in a similar way to wigwams, with pole frames and elm bark covering.
The main difference is that the longhouses were much larger, but the size did vary, and could be good homes for as many as twenty families.

CHRISTMAS
Meanwhile back at the British Camp, celebrations have started early for Christmas!
For soldiers cooped up in the isolated garrison forts in the wilderness there was little to do in the off-duty hours but eat, sleep, gamble and drink!
New England Rum, popularly known as “Killdevil”, was issued daily to the men.
A gill or quarter pint was the authorized ration, but men could earn an extra gill in lieu of money for extra duties such as road building or fort construction. Also in some cases after returning from strenuous patrols or successful expeditions
Enterprising soldiers could always find extra drink somewhere.
At Quebec in the winter months it was a serious problem
“Liquors were extremely scarce, and when men could procure them, they generally drank to excess, it was no uncommon thing in the morning, to find several men frozen to death, from the above cause.”
Here is another Fun F+I War set for the holidays!
And Cheers to Benjamin for the suggestion!

Colonel Sir Peter Halkett, and Lieutenant James Halkett
Three members of the Halkett family fought with Braddock at the Battle on the Monongahela.
