Description

Osprey’s examination of probably the most key campaigns of the French and Indian War (1754-1763). On 9 July 1755 amid the wilderness of North The us, Britain suffered some of the humiliating defeats in her history. General Braddock’s army, a mix of British regulars and American militia, was once shattered, losing over 900 men from a force of 1,300. Braddock was once killed and the remnants of his army rescued by his aide, Colonel George Washington. The origins of this defeat can also be traced back to the death of a junior French officer little more than a year before in a quite minor skirmish with a party of Virginian militia commanded by the similar George Washington. René Chartrand examines the next chain of events that in the long run sparked a world war.
