Reviews for The Great Fortress
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
3/5
2 ratings1 review
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Brief, well written account of the history of the most significant coastal fort in 18th century New France. The author paints an accurate and interesting picture of the fort's history and why it was so difficult to defend, ultimately leading to its capture once by the American colonials and later by the English during the Seven Year's War.
