There is a book series that came out in the late 70’s, early eighties by an author named Allan W. Eckert. with all the papers, footnotes, diagrams possible, He wove what wasn’t written together, as a storyline history of the French and Indian Wars, and the Revolutionary War. Good books to read, if you can find them. The man was the same stock as Tom Clancy writes of things today.
