Synopsis:
On the morning of August 9, 1757, British forces defending Fort William Henry surrendered to French besiegers under a generous ”parole of honor”. As the British column marched to Fort Edward, they were set upon by the Indian allies of the French in a resulting ”massacre,” forever ingrained in American myth by the classic novel, The Last of the Mohicans.
Contemporary accounts of the victims-helped to create a powerful, racist American folk memory that still resonates today. Explaining the motives for one of the most notorious incidents of the colonial period, Steele offers a gripping tale which places these events in a fresh historical context.
