Four essential accounts of war in the New World
This book will be a joy to all those-academic and casual-who have
an interest in the Seven Years War as it was fought in America in
the middle of the eighteenth century-the conflict we now know as
the French and Indian War. These narratives are too packed with
action and incredible events to give details here. They are all
shorter works which, without companions, would have been unlikely
to see publication individually, but joined together the reader can
immerse himself in the times and be enthralled by the voices of
those who experienced these momentous times. Here are Rogers,
Israel Putnam and other famous Rangers who weave their presence and
deeds through each account. Here are the Provincials and the
Regulars-the Royal Americans and the Highlanders. Here are Fort
Bull, Fort William Henry, Crown Point and Ticonderoga. Here are
Monroe, Amherst, Howe, Johnson and many others. This is the
experience of war against the French and their fierce Indian allies
in the deep woods of the American Frontier. Raids, ambushes,
flights, captures, ordeals and escapes fill all the pages of this
truly indispensable book
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Delve into what it
was like to live during the eighteenth century by reading the
first-hand accounts of everyday people, including city dwellers and
farmers, businessmen and bankers, artisans and merchants, artists
and their patrons, politicians and their constituents. Original
texts make the American, French, and Industrial revolutions vividly
contemporary.++++The below data was compiled from various
