Introduction: The New England provincial soldier: a problem of perception -- The initiation of war and the New England military system -- Garrisons: the first line of defense -- Provincial forts: the magnet -- Scouts: patrols, probes, and raids -- Expeditions: the Anglo-American partnership -- Stores of war: the logistical nightmare -- Recruiting: gone for a soldier -- Officers: chosen to lead -- Battle drill and fighting spirit -- Battle experience: facing the enemy -- The wounds of war.
Summary: "The early French Wars (1689-1748) in North America saw provincial soldiers, or British white settlers, in Massachusetts and New Hampshire fight against New France and her Native American allies with minimal involvement from England ... Steven Eames demonstrates that [the battlefield style that] developed in early New England was ... a unique way of war that selectively blended elements of European military strategy, frontier fighting, and native American warfare. This new form of warfare responded to and influenced the particular challenges, terrain, and demography of early New England. Drawing upon a wealth of primary materials on King William's War, Queen Anne's War, Dummer's War, and King George's War, Eames offers a bottom-up view of how war was conducted and how war was experienced in this particular period and place"--Page 4 of cover.
