Books with title The French and Indian War: 1660-1763

The French and Indian War: 1660-1763 covers much more than the few years during which the English and French fought over the division of the North American continent in one of the most neglected periods of American history. In this volume in the Drama of American History series, authors Christopher Collier and James Lincoln Collier trace how England’s other rivals for control of America were eliminated over this period until the only source of conflict left would be between the British and their own colonists. This volume offers a fairly unique approach to American history by focusing on core content rather than a blizzard of names and dates, giving listeners a good sense of not only what happened, but why, as England eliminated its competition. History is dramatic - and the renowned, award-winning authors Christopher Collier and James Lincoln Collier demonstrate this in a compelling series aimed at young readers. Covering American history from the founding of Jamestown through present day, these volumes explore far beyond the dates and events of a historical chronicle to present a moving illumination of the ideas, opinions, attitudes and tribulations that led to the birth of this great nation.

In the colonization of North America, Great Britain, France, Spain, the Netherlands, and Sweden each sought a share. By the eighteenth century, only Great Britain and France remained as rivals for the heart of the continent.Three times, beginning in 1690, warfare arose between New France and New England. Settlements were destroyed, and armies clashed, yet nothing was settled. Each country regarded the Ohio Valley as its own. A small skirmish in 1754 touched off a war that spread to Europe, then to Africa, Asia, and even to islands in the Atlantic and Pacific. The fate of North America hung in the balance. This conflict, the Great War for the Empire, may well be called the first of the world wars.Here, award-winning historian Francis Russell brings to life the vast panorama that formed the background for this struggle in which the English redcoats fought side by side with American colonists against French soldiers and their Indian allies.

On July 8, 1758, the greatest battle to be fought on American soil until the Revolutionary War took place between a combined army of more than 12,000 British and provincial troops and an army of approximately 4,000 French for possession of the French Fort Carillon (later renamed Ticonderoga). For more than six hours on a stifling summer afternoon, amid terrible slaughter wave after wave of mostly British regulars attempted to take the strongly entrenched French position on the Heights of Carillon by frontal assault. Conspicuous among the units involved in the day's disastrous action was the 42nd Highland Regiment—Black Watch—which lost more than half its men in the unsuccessful attempt, 499 in all. Total British losses in their worst defeat of the French and Indian War amounted to 1,610 killed, wounded or missing. French losses, in their last victory in the long struggle, amounted to 377.

THE FRENCH AND INDIAN WAR includes six novels dealing with the great struggle of France and England and their colonies for control of North America during 1754-1763, culminating with the fall of Quebec. It is also concerned to a large extent with the Iroquois, the mighty league known in their own language as the Hodenosaunee, for the favor of which both French and English were high bidders.
