The Canadian Military Heritage reference
set is a heavily illustrated, three-volume work covering ten centuries of Canada's rich military history, from Amerindians, Vikings, and the Basques to the Siege of Quebec, the American Revolution, and on through the world wars to the U.N.
missions of the late 20th century. The books include extensive descriptions of
forts and barracks, uniforms, weapons, regiments and other formations.
The three volumes in the Canadian Military History series cover the following time periods:
- Volume I 1000 - 1754
- Volume II 1755 - 1871
- Volume III 1872 - 2000
The books have been digitized and made
available online on their own Web site. There are two versions of the book
site – Flash and HTML. They are identical except that the Flash site includes
interactive, multimedia slideshows in Flash format.
