Download or read book The Battle for North America written by Francis Parkman and published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson. This book was released on 2001 with total page 775 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1889 in 13 volumes, this brilliant, unequalled work by the most famous American historian of the age has now been skillfully edited into a single edition. The wonderfully readable result retains its sharp focus and wonderfully graceful style, while eliminating repetitions and archaic phrases. Playing out in the dramatic account is the struggle for a continent, and the brilliant men who dominated the conflict: Champlain, La Salle, Washington, Howe, and others. By ousting the French from the land, the British unwittingly set the stage for their own later defeat.
