[Brennan]

Great little book about the campaigns and struggles of imperial powers trying to lay claim to the lands of Western PA. I very much enjoyed the telling of the events as well as the included pictures and maps. The added perspective of the Native Americans in the region were great to read as well.

Short account of the battles fought in Western Pennsylvania during the Seven Years' War.

[J. Peter]

This is a very readable, short book that does an excellent job of filling in the blanks about this period of American history so often glossed over by modern historians.
