Though the French and British colonies in North America began on a
'level playing field', French political conservatism and limited
investment allowed the British colonies to forge ahead, pushing
into territories that the French had explored deeply but failed to
exploit. The subsequent survival of 'New France' can largely be
attributed to an intelligent doctrine of raiding warfare developed
by imaginative French officers through close contact with Indian
tribes and Canadian settlers. The ground-breaking new research
explored in this study indicates that, far from the ad hoc
opportunism these raids seemed to represent, they were in fact the
result of a deliberate plan to overcome numerical weakness by
exploiting the potential of mixed parties of French soldiers,
Canadian backwoodsmen and allied Indian warriors. Supported by
contemporary accounts from period documents and newly explored
historical records, this study explores the 'hit-and-run' raids
which kept New Englanders tied to a defensive position and ensured
the continued existence of the French colonies until their eventual
cession in 1763.
