George Warburton’s Conquest of Canada is a narrative history of the long colonial contest between Britain and France for dominance of North America, culminating in the Seven Years’ War and the British victory at Quebec in 1759. Volume 1 traces the early phases of this struggle, covering French settlement, indigenous alliances, and the series of colonial wars that preceded the final decisive conflict.
For American readers, the French and Indian War is the crucial framing event of the revolutionary generation, and Warburton’s account provides essential context for understanding the imperial world that shaped the founding era.
