The French & Indian War in Western Pennsylvania by Robert M. Dunkerly – War of Empires Series

Long before the American Revolution, a different war shaped the destiny of North America. The French & Indian War (1754–1763) was more than a colonial conflict—it was a war of empires, and Western Pennsylvania was the critical front line.
