Montcalm and Wolfe: The French And Indian War Parkman Francis
Montcalme and Wolfe frames the war years through the lives of its two brilliant opposing generals. Parkman travels from opulent royal courts to muddy colonial fields, from Fort Necessity to the Plains of Abraham. Weaving together the campaigns on both sides of the Atlantic.
