A century of warfare to claim a continentThis unique Leonaur book provides an overview of all the conflicts in North America during the later 17th and 18th centuries, to the close of the Seven Years' War and on the Western frontier prior to the American Revolution. The overarching issue during this period was which European power, Britain or France, would succeed in dominating that part of the Americas. Each side had its own regular troops and locally raised militias, together with distinctive Native-American allies divided by the deep enmity between the Huron and the Iroquois nations. In these pages the reader will chronologically follow the bloody warpath through King William's War, Queen Anne's War, King George's War, the fighting in the Ohio Valley, Braddock's Defeat, the Battle at Lake George, the fall of Louisbourg, and the struggles for the frontier forts including William Henry, Ticonderoga, Frontenac and Du Quesne. Johnson's account concludes with the campaign that led to the fall of Quebec and French defeat in Canada. To provide context this book also includes an account of the Ohio Indian War led by the Ottawa war chief, Pontiac, which broke out in 1763 and led to the final expulsion of French forces from North America. Contains maps and illustrations. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.

There was rejoicing throughout the Thirteen Colonies, in the month of September 1760, when news arrived of the capitulation of Montreal. Bonfires flamed forth and prayers were offered up in the churches and meeting-houses in gratitude for deliverance from a foe that for over a hundred years had harried and had caused the Indians to harry the frontier settlements. The French armies were defeated by land; the French fleets were beaten at sea. The troops of the enemy had been removed from North America, and so powerless was France on the ocean that, even if success should crown her arms on the European continent, where the Seven Years' War was still raging, it would be impossible for her to transport a new force to America. The principal French forts in America were occupied by British troops. Louisbourg had been razed to the ground; the British flag waved over Quebec, Montreal, and Niagara, and was soon to be raised on all the lesser forts in the territory known as Canada. The Mississippi valley from the Illinois river southward alone remained to France. Vincennes on the Wabash and Fort Chartres on the Mississippi were the only posts in the hinterland occupied by French troops. These posts were under the government of Louisiana; but even these the American colonies were prepared to claim, basing the right on their 'sea to sea' charters.
