I would like to do some reading on the Indian battles and warfare that took place during the French & Indian War. Do you have any recommendations of books fitting this description?

My thanks, in advance, for any tips that you may have!

Last summer I read the classic book Northwest Passage by Kenneth Roberts. Book I is 341 pages and Book II is 368! But what a page-turner it is, especially Book I. I highly, highly recommend reading it.

Cool... Nothing like a good book to read at the beach while on vacation! 8)

Thank you, Capitaine Etienne "Le Longue Barbe" and Ernie!

I would definitely take some fiction, too, if you have any titles that stand out in your memories.

One of my fav books is Captain Jack, the scout it is a great fiction book but based in real time period and real people.

You can read it on google books for free

It's a what-if story that would have happend if Braddock had not refused The Black Hunter the Juniata.
