Blood
on the Moon: The Southern Fron of the French and Indian War
The French and Indian War was one of the pivotal events of American
History. It settled the question of whether North America would be English
or French.
It proved the forge for a new American identity among the English colonists,
a
training ground for a generation of American leaders, and set the stage
for
issues that would lead to the break between England and those colonists.
The fight for the control of the Ohio River Valley was a key part of the
War. This
is the story of that fight.
