Reliving History: The French and Indian War (America's Other Forgotten War)

Why was this, the fourth war fought between colonial powers
in North America, the most important in world history?  For one, it led directly to the American
Revolution and all history that followed. 
This little known war is discussed from its beginnings in the wilderness
of Pennsylvania to its end on the Plains of Abraham in Quebec.  Jim Rowan wears and describes the uniform and
weapons of a British grenadier of the First Regiment of Foot and concludes with
a slide presentation of French and Indian War sites that can still be visited
today.
