Title

State of the British and French Colonies in North America

Description

"State of the British and French Colonies in North America: with respect to number of people, forces, forts, Indians, trade and other advantages" in two letters to a friend, is an early account of British and French conflicts in the Ohio Country. Printed in London in 1755, before the United States had been created, the book begins with a section titled, "Importance of the Ohio country." It goes on to assert British claims on the territory and disprove French allegations that the Ohio was part of the Louisiana territory. The book is 190 pages long and measures 4.5" x 7.75" (11.43 cm x 19.69 cm). The first 14 pages on the "Importance of the Ohio country" are digitized here.
