The savage struggle to take control of the North American
wilderness during the epic Seven Years War (1756-63) between France
and England is a gripping tale. As the two European powers battled
each other for global economic, political and military supremacy in
what some have called the first world war, the brutal conflict took
on a unique North American character, particularly in the role
Native allies played on both sides.
Formal European tactics and military protocols were out of place
in the harsh, unforgiving forests of the New World. Cavalry, mass
infantry columns, and volley fire proved less effective in the
heavily wooded terrain of North America than it did in Europe. What
mattered in the colonial hinterland of New France and the British
American colonies was an ability to navigate, travel, and survive
in the uncharted wilderness. Equally important was the capacity to
strike at the enemy with surprise, speed, and violence.
After all, the reward for victory was substantial mastery of
North America."
