Redcoats Along the Hudson: Struggle for North America, 1754-63 by Noel Trevor St.John Williams
This is the story of the long struggle between France and England for supremacy in North America, which culminated in a victory for the British in 1763. It tells of early exploration and settlement, of differing political, religious and economic interests, of the development and participation of the American colonies and the birth of Canada, and eventually of the United States of America. Noel Williams is the author of "Redcoats and Courtesans: The Birth of the British Army 1660-1690" and "Judy O'Grady and the Colonel's Lady: The Army Wife and Camp Follower Since 1660".
