Even as colonists, Americans fought and died on the battlefields of the French and Indian War (1755-1763). This microfilm collection, selected from the manuscript holdings of the Massachusetts Historical Society, reproduces the orderly books of 10 regiments and companies active in the conflict. Seven come from the Massachusetts Provincials; two, the Third Connecticut Regiment and one, the British Army. They reflect daily activities in the context of the Quebec and Montreal campaigns, as well as Canadian and American garrison duty.
