This site reflects my interest in Scandinavian Military History of the second half of the 17th Century and the beginning of the 18th Century. My interests include the campaigns and battles, the uniforms, as well as the colors and standards of the armies of Sweden, Denmark-Norway, Saxony, Russia, Poland, and Brandenburg-Prussia. Information is added as time and resources permit.

I have never really mastered the intricacies of web page design, so I have decided to stick with my old program. I realize that it lacks the "glitz" of more modern programs, but my emphasis here is on sharing the information. I have, however, converted most of the old html files to pdf format in the hope that it more easily lends itself to downloading. These files are provided solely for private use only, and are not intended for sale or publication.

I would be interested in hearing from others interested in this period, and I am actively soliciating others to contribute articles or information, as well as any useful links for sites that relate to this period. Please feel free to contact me with any questions and comments. You can email me at dan (at) northernwars (dot) com .
