Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Some Important Colonial Military Operations
Since 9 out of 10 men had no bayonets, many no shoes and the scaling ladders brought from Boston were 10 feet too short,2 and since there was nothing approaching a breach in the walls and the French boasted that women alone could defend the fortification, it was well that this madcap project was not attempted with troops in such want and so devoid of experience or discipline.
