The French and Indian War was part of a complicated power struggle
fought on a world scale between Great Britain and France. In North
America, the complexity of this war was magnified by the clashing
cultures swept up in it: European, colonial, and Native American.
In this convenient reference work, the reader will find a distillation
of information from many sources. The entries provide richly detailed
biographies of British and French officers and men, noteworthy colonists,
and prominent Native Americans. Other entries include regimental
histories, important battles, locations, forts, military terminology,
Native tribes, and political and social issues. An avid collector
of books on early American history for more than forty years (and
dealer for more than twenty years), Don Stoetzel acquired over 2,500
books on the French and Indian War alone. The Encyclopedia of the
French & Indian War in North America, 1754-1763, is the fruit of
his lifetime love of books and history.
