Description

This is a pictorial history of the French siege of Fort William Henry in 1757 and its most infamous episode of the French and Indian War: the massacre that inspired the book "The Last of the Mohicans." After the surrender of Fort William Henry's garrison to the advancing army of French General Marquis de Montcalm in August 1757, it seemed that this particular incident of the French and Indian War had concluded. However, what happened next became the most infamous episode of the war: the 'massacre' of Fort William Henry.

As the garrison was preparing to march toward Fort Edward, a wave of furious Indians surged over the column, unleashing an unstoppable wave of slaughter. James Fenimore Cooper's account has influenced our perception of the event, so what really happened? Ian Castle presents up-to-date research on the campaign, including some interesting archaeological work conducted over the past 20 years, shedding new light on the account proposed by "The Last of the Mohicans".
