Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Braddock's Defeat, 1755: The French and English in America
The most momentous and far-reaching question ever brought to issue on this continent was: Shall France remain here, or shall she not? 'if, by diplomacy or war, she had preserved but the half, or less than the half, of her American possessions, then a barrier would have been set to the Spread of the English speaking races; there would have been no Revolutionary War; and for a long time, at least, no independence. It was not a question of scanty populations strung along the banks of the St. Lawrence it was - or under a government of any worth it would have been - a question of the armies and generals of France.
