Historian and author Fred Anderson discusses his work that casts new light on a turning point of the Seven Years’ War — and hints at larger patterns of Indian influence in the shaping of American history.
The bitter Seven Year’s War (1754-1763) between the Kingdom Of Great Britain and the Kingdom Of France was fought to determine which would be the dominate power in the Western World. Since the 18th century, historians have credited General John Forbes’s success in seizing Fort Duquesne — principally to the deliberation and care he took in building the road and forts — in improving relations between the British colonizers and the native peoples.
