About This Item
Ottawa: National Historic Sites and Parks Branch, Indian and Northern Affairs, 1978. Soft cover. Very Good. The interior of the book is crisp and clean. The illustrated paper covers are fresh, with minimal wear at tips and corners. Note: This book contains two monographs. The first is by Baker. The second is: "The construction and occupation of the barracks of the King's Bastion at Louisbourg", by Blaine Adams. Synopsis: "On the morning of May 11 1745, some 90 transport vessels under escort of a British naval squadron sailed into Gabarus (Gabarouse) Bay on Cape Breton Island. Abord the transports were nine regiments of hastily raised citizen soldiers from the colonies of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Connecticut. They had come to conquer the great French fortress of Louisbourg; in 47 days they were to do just that, and shatter the myth of invincibility that had begun to surround the fortress".
