In 1758, at the height of the French and Indian War, British
Brigadier General John Forbes led his army on a methodical advance
against Fort Duquesene, French headquarters in the Ohio valley. As
his army closed in upon the fort, he sent Major Grant of the 77th
Highlanders and 850 men on a reconnaissance in force against the
fort. The French, alerted to this move, launched their own
counter-raid. 500 French and Canadians, backed by 500 Indian
allies, ambushed the highlanders and sent them fleeing back to the
main army. With the success of that operation, the French planned
their own raid against the English encampment at Fort Ligonier less
than fifty miles away. With only 600 men, against an enemy strength
of 4,000, the French & Amerindians launched a daring night
attack on the heart of the enemy encampment. This book tells the
complete story of these ambitious raids and counter-raids, giving
in-depth detail on the forces, terrain, and tactics.
