| Summary: | As the war moved to upstate New York, relationships among the French, British, Indians, and colonial settlers become increasingly tense. This episode tells how Indians saw the war as an opportunity to regain control of their territory. While French and English officers perceived the Indians as barbarians, they were forced into uneasy alliances with them. Interesting characters emerged, like British general Andrew William Johnson, an Irish fur trader with an exceptional ability to bridge the cultural divide, and his friend, the Mohawk Chief Hendrick. As the front lines stretched from North Carolina to Canada, it was far from clear who the victors would be. |
