5.0 out of 5 stars
an incredible work,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Fox Wars: The Mesquakie Challenge to New France (Civilization of the American Indian Series) (Hardcover)
This is THE book on the Fox Wars, the second round in the clash of the French and British Empires over North America. I would recommend reading W.J. Eccles' "Frontenac: The Courtier Governor" before reading this. This is an incredible book. Edmunds and Peyser did a wonderful job. All of their knowledge comes from the records written by the French themseles during the conflict. Recommended to me by an expert on the subject.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Highlights present-day Wisconsin as a battleground,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Fox Wars: The Mesquakie Challenge to New France (Civilization of the American Indian Series) (Hardcover)
The Fox River/Wisconsin River road between Green Bay and the fur-rich Mississippi River was blocked by Mesquakie toll-collectors in the early 18th century. Here is an account of the French manipulation of trinket-greedy native warriors to break the Mesquakie blockade which eventually degenerates into cannibalistic genocide.
