Review # 1 was written on 2017-01-09 00:00:00 Carl Austin In the US, we learn very little about the history of the colonies between 1607 and 1776. We learn Columbus "discovered" america, a little about Jamestown, a lot about the Pilgrams, then skip right on to a brief bit on the French Indian War then it's off to the Revolution. This book not only informed me of an important part of American History I'd never heard of, it also incited my imagination to find out more about the ~300 years between 1492 and 1776.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-07-22 00:00:00 John Farrell Also know as the French and Indian War, this conflict between the English and French involved Native Americans and British colonists. Scalping was encouraged by both sides as means of paying a bounty for killing people on the other side. This history looks at the causes of the war and the tactics employed.
