Two classic first hand accounts of 18th century American Colonial
Warfare
Britain's victory in the French and Indian War did not bring peace
to the American wilderness. Formal treaties between European powers
meant little to the native Indian allies of each side who
perpetuated their opposition to their white and 'red' skinned
enemies in hopes of a return to a former balance of power and
influence. So it was that Chief Pontiac of the Ottawa's at the head
of a confederation of Indian allies rose up in 1763 slaughtering
the occupants of settlements and burning forts before he came
before the substantial defences of Detroit. The principal account
of this engagement told within this book comes from the pen of the
secretary to the posts commanding officer. It is thorough in its
detail and gripping as a story in almost cinematographic
proportions. Those who have been fascinated by the accounts of
beleaguered garrisons such as Rorke's Drift, Chitral and others
with find much to engage them here. Readers who are fascinated by
the French and Indian War will appreciate this book's second piece
from the pen of that most famous of rangers-Major Robert Rogers-who
provides his customary incisive view of the events of the war.
Highly Recommended.
