Description: Endgame 1758 - Louisbourg Last Decade by A. J. B. Johnston Nova Scotia History Endgame 1758: The Promise, the Glory, and the Despair of Louisbourg's Last Decade by A. J. B. Johnston The book features a unique look at French Colonial Louisbourg. There is lots of interesting reference and historical documentation, a very neat book with lots of details. Endgame 1758 is a tale of two empires in collision on the shores of mid-eighteenth-century Atlantic Canada, where rival European visions of predominance clashed headlong with each other and with the region’s Aboriginal peoples. The magnitude of the struggle and of its uncertain outcome colored the lives of Louisbourg’s inhabitants and the nearly thirty thousand combatants arrayed against it. The entire history comes to life in a tale of what turned out to be the first major British victory in the Seven Years’ War. How and why the French colony ended the way it did, not just in June and July 1758, but over the decade that preceded the siege, is a little-known and compelling story.
