Anglo-French Boundary Disputes In The West, 1749-1763

By Theodore Calvin Pease

The road to the Seven Years' War was mapped in ink before it was fought in blood. Frontiers seldom have clear edges. In 'Anglo-French Boundary Disputes in the West, 1749-1763', Theodore Calvin Pease follows the tangled negotiations, reports and rival claims that defined eighteenth century North America. Focusing on the contested interior, this colonial American history book traces how imperial policy-makers, governors and military officers struggled to draw lines from the Atlantic seaboard to the Ohio Valley frontier, long before armies clashed on the ground. Written as a rigorous academic history monograph and classic diplomatic history study, Pease examines North American border disputes as the crucible of Anglo French colonial rivalry and French and Indian War origins. Rather than battlefield narrative, the emphasis falls on documents, commissions, maps and memoranda, revealing how misunderstandings over river systems, forts and alliances with Indigenous nations ignited colonial frontier conflicts that would soon widen into global war, and securing its place as essential Seven Years' War history. Long valued as an authoritative academic research reference, this study speaks both to specialists and to general readers curious about how empires actually worked on the ground, ideal for history students, researchers and collectors of classic scholarship alike. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
