Defenders of New France

 2027. 

Fully illustrated, this lively study tells the story of the forces fighting for Montcalm and New France during the struggle for Canada in 1754–63.

During the French and Indian War, the defenders of New France were led by the redoubtable Louis-Joseph de Montcalm, whose initial battles with the British and their allies in 1756–58 culminated in the momentous clash on the Plains of Abraham in 1759. In this lively study, Robbie MacNiven examines the various forces led by Montcalm in Canada at a formative time in that country's history.

Montcalm's forces were composed of recently arrived regular French Army troops alongside locally recruited militia and seasoned French colonial infantry, working in conjunction with a number of First Nations peoples hostile to the British. All elements of the diverse forces defending New France are assessed in this engaging account, drawing upon the latest research and findings from the battlefields and garrisons of 18th-century Canada. The fighting men involved are depicted in detail in the period illustrations and specially commissioned artwork plates.
