From the earliest English settlements the survival of the infant colonies in North America depended upon local militias. Before the mid-18th century royal troops were seldom shipped out from Britain, and the main burden of successive wars with the American Indians, and with Britain's colonial rivals France and Spain, fell upon locally raised units, which also fought alongside the Crown forces during the major operations of the French-Indian War. This final book of a fascinating three-part study covers the militias, provincial troops, and Rangers raised in the Carolinas, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Georgia, Nova Scotia, Hudson's Bay, and Quebec Province.
