Описание: Two classic first hand accounts of 18th century American Colonial Warfare

Britains 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 Ottawas 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 Rorkes Drift, Chitral and others with find much to engage them here. Readers who are fascinated by the French and Indian War will appreciate this books 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.
