Description:Excerpt from A Charming Field for an The Story of George Washington's Fort NecessityA distinguished American historian, Lawrence Henry Gipson, considered this the most important of all the wars the United States has fought. It was destined, he wrote, to have the most momentous consequences to the Amer ican people of any war in which they have been engaged down to our own day - consequences therefore even more momentous than those that flowed from the victorious Revolutionary War or from the Civil War. For it was to de termine for centuries to come, if not for all time, what civili zation - what governmental institutions, what social and economic patterns - would be paramount in North Amer ica. It was to determine likewise whether Americans were to be securely confined to a long but narrow ribbon of territory lying between the coastline and a not too distant mountain chain, and whether their rivals, the French - then considered to be the greatest military power in the world and in control of the Appalachians - were to remain a permanent and effective barrier to any enjoyment of the vast western interior of the continent.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
