I read the Montcalm and Wolfe awhile ago. Nice for coverage of the French and Indian war.

I read his The OregonTrail a long time ago. He didn't actually travel the trail--he got as far as the vicinity of Kansas City. He encountered the Donner Party and thought they were poorly organized so was not surprised when hearing later of their disaster.

I read his THE CONSPIRACY OF PONTIAC in 1961 and realize today’s Detroit Residents have done to the city what Pontiac and his Ottawas could not do in 1764.

I am reading Montcalm and Wolfe right now. I am glad I was able to visit Lake Champlain and Lake George several years ago. Rugged country. The Indians really were savages and the French used them to terrorize the American colonists.
