The Van Cortlandtville Historical Society
Presents an original Program: by Members Gerry Dempsey and Charlie Messina
CONQUEST AND EMPIRE
THE FRENCH AND INDIAN WAR
Before the American Revolution, North America was at war. The English, French, Algonquian and Iroquois routinely attacked each other. No one was safe. Months of skirmishes would suddenly explode into full-scale miltary operations.
The physical environment -the dark, dense primeval forest- gave important advantages to the Native American warriors, but the Europeans had the guns and the gunpowder.
Gerry Dempsey and Charlie Messina describe how they lived and how they fought. Having toured many of these battlegrounds in the United States and Canada, Charlie and Gerry offer insights and anecdotes about the harsh realities of the French and Indian Wars.
(Gerry Dempsey edits the Van Cortlandtville Historical Society's quarterly publication, the Historical Key. Charlie Messina serves on the Boards of the Van Cortlandtville Historical Society and the The Old Van Cortlandville Cemetery Association)
Please join us as we pay tribute to the French Soldiers, who fought and died for our cause during the Revolutionary War.
