Produktbeschreibung
Erick W. Nason's second book in his French and Indian War series furthers the exploits of Ranger Sergeant Jacob Clarke, as Jacob continues in the historical fight against the French, the Canadians, and their Indian allies. After the massacre and fall of British-held Fort William Henry in 1757, Major Robert Rogers continues to lead Jacob and his fellow Rangers in unconventional partisan warfare against their hated foes. They nearly lose their lives at the Battle on Showshoes, the disastrous assault against Fort Carillon, and in fighting their French partisan rivals Jean-Baptiste de Langy and Durantaye. Besides fighting their enemies, the Rangers had to deal with the growing tension between British regulars and the provincials. To fill their depleted ranks, Jacob leads a recruiting party to find the right men for the Ranger Companies, before heading north to join the British expedition against Quebec. This historical novel contains more real fact than fiction, including actual people and events. As an academic, Erick W. Nason has written numerous papers in support of the American Revolution. "I decided to take my love of military history, my twenty years of active duty in Special Forces, and my thirty years of being a reenactor, into a work of historical fiction. There has not been a good book written about the French and Indian War in New York since James Fennimore Cooper.
