Excerpt from A Particular History of the Five Years French and Indian War in New England and Parts Adjacent: From Its Declaration by the King of France, March 15, 1744, to the Treaty With the Eastern Indians, Oct; 16, 1749, Sometimes Called Governor Shirley's War; With a Memoir of Major-General Shirley, Accompanied by His Portrait and Other Engravings Many who have written histories of the period included in this work, scarcely notice above two events in it, and those in the most general terms. They tell us of the capture of Louisbourg and the sacking of Fort Massachusetts! And yet it was a war of about five years' duration - the entire Eng lish frontier, from Nova Scotia to the mouth of the Monon gahela, was laid waste by fire and sword! At least a thousand people were killed and carried into captivity, exclusive of the losses of soldiers. The greatest sufferers were those who from necessity were obliged to make their homes in the wild erness border, and thus met the brunt of savage cruelties. To those our attention has been specially directed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
