THE FRENCH AND INDIAN WAR ... Mohicans History Links
As we hope this site will help to promote a greater interest in the colonial period, and specifically the French and Indian War, we've added this History Links page.
The French and Indian War had uniquely complex qualities, matched by the gravity of its outcome. The myriad of cultures involved; French, Canadian, American, English, Algonquians, Iroquois, etc., make this era fascinating. The multi-ethnic element made it a war built upon fragile alliances, often undermined by factional disputes and shifting fortunes. Violent as it was, its battlefields encompassed some of the most beautiful country to be found anywhere. Its richness in diverse cultures, the severity of its bloody violence, and the beauty of its landscape; all combine to make this an era with great depth of interest. We've tried to include links that reflect these qualities and varied perspectives.
Additionally, you'll find links to French & Indian War re-enactor sites. On this ... a word. The men and women who recreate historical events are often overlooked and very underappreciated. While it is entertaining and educational to witness a re-enactment event, there is a lot more involved with this craft than meets the eye. There is tremendous dedication on the part of these "living historians"! The best historical films are brought to their successful completion with the participation of re-enactors, ... and that includes The Last of the Mohicans! Take a look and discover a path to the 18th century!
Remember to find the trail back!
We invite you, too, to visit our WWW Board, where LOTM devotees bare their souls. Feel free to start your own history related threads and add another color to the Board! Go To The: MOHICAN WWW BOARD!
