Wow - Great French and Indian War movie. Does an excellent job of setting the plot regarding the fight over western PA and the settlers. Not too gory but doesn’t hold back on how fighting was - recommend to all Freepers. This one deserves a watch !!!

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check it out! One of my ancestors fought in the French & Indian War.

Hyacinth is jelly.
Yes, but the plot is a bit different. The English have just defeated the French. The Native Americans, having sided with the French, believe the English will now turn on them. So they begin to band together and attack forts in Western PA. The English in Eastern PA start getting word of what’s going on and have to send an Expeditionary Force out west to put down the uprising.
