Endgame 1758 : the promise, the glory, and the despair of Louisbourg's last decade

Johnston, A. J. B. (Andrew John Bayly) (Author).

Summary: The story of what happened at the colonial fortified town of Louisbourg between 1749 and 1758 is one of the great dramas of the history of Canada, indeed North America. This book presents the dramatic military and social history of this short-lived and significant fortress, seaport, and community, and the citizens who made it their home.
