Until Mexico won its independence from Spain and the French under Napoleon conquered Spain and Napoleon engineered the Louisiana Purchase, Spain maintained military garrisons and forces throughout the New World. Despite the relatively uncivilized continents of North and South America military fashion and regulation were still maintained and no other country sported any more colorful and interesting uniforms than the Kingdom of Spain. Her military forces played an important part in supporting the American Revolution. Spain gave both military and financial support to the colonies and was involved in armed conflicts with the British along the Gulf Coast. Galvez, the military governor or Lousiana played an active role in the expulsion of the British and their interests along the Mississippi. 135 plates.. CD. As New. Illus. by Lull & Bueno.
