Lawrence Henry Gipson

4.9/5 (33662 ratings)

Description:This is the seventh volume of Professor Gipson's great history of The British Empire before the American Revolution, and the second devoted to The Great War for the Empire, commonly known in its American phase as the French and Indian War. It begins with a brief study of the elder William Pitt, whose assumption of the secretaryship of state in England marked a vigorous renewal and intensification of the struggle to drive the French from eastern America. Following the disastrous years in which the English were repelled on almost all fronts came a series of victories — the surrender of Louisbourg to Amherst, the fall of Fort Frontenac, then of Fort Duquesne, the French withdrawal from Ticonderoga and Crown Point, the surrender of Fort Niagara, the daring assault by Wolfe on Quebec and his decisive defeat of a French army, and finally the capture of Montreal, which ended the war in America. Its outcome determined the future of English-speaking people on the North American continent.Like its predecessors in this vast and memorable undertaking, the present volume is in effect a complete reconstruction of the great struggle between the British and French empires, based on primary sources. Dr. Gipson's work has been acclaimed by his colleagues among historians, but it is not for them alone. As Samuel Eliot Morison says: "The general reader need not she off from this work and imagine that it is not for him."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
