Synopsis
Excerpt from The Niagara Campaign of 1759
French and Indian War, and in Europe as the Seven Years' War, lasting from 1756 until 1763.
That the colonists could hardly say that the lines had fallen to them in pleasant places is evidenced from this being the fourth struggle between the French and English colonies, the preceding ones having been King William's War in 1689; Queen Anne's War, which dragged along from 1702 to 1713, and King George's War, in 1744 and 1745. And it was only twelve years after the conclusion of the French and Indian \var to the outbreak of the for Inde pendence. Sandwiched in between these formal hostilities were bickerings and boundary - line disputes, Indian depreda tions and similar causes for alarm and uneasiness, to say nothing of the ceaseless everyday drudgery incident to open ing up a new country.
