Reviews

Long and in-depth historical account of the early conflicts


(5 stars)

LESSER KNOWN WAR EXPOSED


(5 stars)

A fine work to illumine an off ignored saga of American history. Two comments:, Parkman's literary ability is on full display; One can only wonder why the English commanders continued to believe the words of a people who practiced lying and treachery as an accepted way of life.
