British Empire?
This article states: "On one hand, he was praised for his skill, including his success in India." Really? Perhaps the author means Indiana. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.50.92.159 (talk) 20:01, 23 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Nope. I meant India.  Boyd served there as a mercenary, commanding a unit employed by the Nizam of Hyderabad.  After several years in India Boyd sold his units equipment and returned to the United States.  Verification: Responding to the West: Essays on Colonial Domination and Asian Agency.  The Philosophy of India and its Impact on American Thought.  From Sea to Shining Sea: From the War of 1812 to the Mexican War, the Saga of America's Expansion.  Parliamentary Papers, House of Commons and Command, Volume 3.
