Travers' book examines a group of colonists who were on a patrol in upstate New York in 1756 that was ambushed by French and Native American soldiers. Travers uses this massacre to explore the lives of the colonists who fought, died and how a a few of them even survived this conflict. Instead of focusing on a major battle, Travers tries to understand the people who were involved.
Len Travers is professor of history at the Univesity of Massachusetts Dartmouth and he is also the author of Celebrating the Fourth: Independence Day and the Rites of Nationalism in the Early Republic.
