More Louisbourg 1745

Picture of a Micmac chief in a French Marine coat by Francis Back from here, where there is more on the siege. Micmacs were very much linked to French fortunes at Louisbourg - hundreds of them were involved in the defence of the fortress.
Excellent articles and documents at this site - a most comprehensive site that forms part of a book The Lion and the Lily.
