THE SEVEN YEAR WAR BETWEEN ENGLAND AND
FRANCE WAS FOUGHT FOR THE VALUABLE FUR
TRADE WHICH MEANT MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.

COUNT FRONTENAC,GOVERNOR OF NEW FRANCE,
WAS UNABLE TO MAKE A DEAL WITH THE IROQUOIS;
WHO WERE ALLIES OF THE ENGLISH .

HE SENT LASALLE.THE FAMOUS EXPLORER WHO WAS
INTERESTED IN FUR TRADING, AND HAD HIM MAKE
AN ALLIANCE WITH THE ILLINOIS TRIBE.

THIS ALLIANCE SENT THE IROQUOIS ON THE WAR-
PATH AGAINST THE ILLINOIS INDIANS.

FROM THAT TIME ON, BOTH THE FRENCH AND ENGLISH
MADE ALLIANCES WITH OTHER INDIAN TRIBES .. .AS
IF PREPARING FOR THE FINAL BATTLE.

THE WAR'S TURNING POINT WAS THE CAPTURE OF
QUEBEC BY BRITISH FORCES. ENGLAND NOW HELD
SWAY OVER THE VAST EMPIRE OF THE NEW WORLD.

METHODS OF INDIAN FIGHTING

BEFORE THE WHITE MAN CAME, THE INDIAN USE
THE PRIMITIVE WEAPONS OF HIS ANCESTORS -
THE BOW AND ARROW AND THE TOMAHAWK .

BUT THE CRUDE INDIAN WEAPONS WERE NO MATCH
FOR THE WHITE MAN'S GUNS, SO HE HAD TO RESORT
TO SURPRISE AS AN ALLY.

AWARE OF THE INDIANS' ANXIETY TO SECURE GUNS,
MANY RENEGADE SETTLERS SOLD THEM DEFEC-
TIVE, OUTMODED GUNS.

WHEN THE INDIAN FINALLY LEARNED HOW TO HANDLE
