french and indian war, 1754-1763

Not long before American Revolution, the colonists fought another war in America, this one alongside soldiers from Great Britain. Known today as the French and Indian War, the conflict decided how much land the country of France would call its own in North America. If Great Britain had any say in the matter, it would surely not be much land at all--and as it happened, the Brits would in fact have a great deal to say about it. They emerged the victors after seven difficult years. This book examines primary sources from the era to tell the tale of how the first British war was fought on American soil.

The life of a colonial soldier was not a glamorous one, but it was a position held with a lot of pride. Readers will learn how men of all ages fought and died to help our country win its independence from the British. The graphica format will make this book hard to keep on the shelves.
