Down the Warpath to the Cedars - University of Oklahoma Press
In May 1776 more than two hundred Indian warriors descended the St. Lawrence River to attack Continental forces at the Cedars, west of Montreal. In just three days’ fighting, the Native Americans and their British and Canadian allies forced the American fort to surrender and ambushed a fatally delayed relief column. In Down the Warpath to the Cedars, author Mark R. Anderson flips the usual perspective on this early engagement and focuses on its Native participants—their motivations, battlefield conduct, and the event’s impact in their world. In this way, Anderson’s work establishes and explains Native Americans’ centrality in the Revolutionary War’s northern theater.

https://www.helion.co.uk/.../scalp-hunter-major-robert..."Scalp Hunter" is a book by Alan D. Gaff that provides an exhaustive examination of Major Robert Rogers and his Rangers during the 1750s. It offers a comprehensive account of the brutal tactics employed by Rogers and his men, including scalping and the murder of unarmed prisoners. The book is noted for its firsthand accounts from the Rangers and their officers, providing a fresh perspective on the events of that era. It aims to challenge the traditional portrayal of Rogers as an icon of American history and includes much new information that was previously unavailable.This impressed me. Blue Jacket - Wikipedia
Blue Jacket, or Weyapiersenwah (c. 1743 – 1810), was a war chief of the Shawnee people, known for his militant defense of Shawnee lands in the Ohio Country. Perhaps the preeminent American Indian leader in the Northwest Indian War, in which a pantribal confederacy fought several battles with the nascent United States, he was an important predecessor of the famous Shawnee leader Tecumseh.
The last members of a dying Native American tribe, the Mohicans -- Uncas, his father Chingachgook, and his adopted half-white brother Hawkeye -- live in peace alongside British colonists. But when the daughters of a British colonel are kidnapped by a traitorous scout, Hawkeye and Uncas must rescue them in the crossfire of a gruesome military conflict of which they wanted no part: the French and Indian War.
