Do you have a particular book to recommend? I’ve been reading a lot of history lately, but haven’t touched on the French & Indian wars.
“Montcalm and Wolfe” by Francis Parkman, which was originally published in 1884 but had a hardback 100th anniversary reprint in the early 80s (which is what I have). Checking Amazon, I see they have 2001 paperback available.
It’s pretty comprehensive and indexed. Maps and fort drawings for campaigns, including Washington’s expeditions.
I found it especially entertaining as I’m originally from the north east so it was nice to hear about things going on in places I knew of.
It also has a full chapter on the forced migration of the Acadians, which was the basis of Longfellow’s “Evangeline” which you may have heard references to here and there. Read that as well if you want to see how not having wires and phones created drama! That you can find for free online.
Another great read is Wilderness at Dawn-The Settling of the North American Continent by Ted Morgan.
