Movingly accurate!

Format:DVD
This documentary of a little publicized period prior to our country's founding brings alive the roots of our democracy and the complicity of the struggle for occupation of the eastern territory. Highly recommended for history buffs, educational supplements for all ages, and pure entertainment. Looking forward to the next of the series. (When the Forest Ran Red, the first film was equally well done.)

Great DVD on Washington and the French and Indian War
13 Mar 2006

This DVD is the second in a series on George Washington and the French and Indian War from Paladin Communications. The first installment (see my review of _When the Forest Ran Red_) was fabulous and this one is just as good. The presentation is great; it contains reenactments and movie clips. We see how the French and Indian War unfolds in western Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia. Grant's surprise attack on Fort Duquesne is reminiscent of Braddock's defeat. The viewer is sure the British will succeed, but is surprised when Grant pulls the proverbial defeat from the jaws of victory. The French strategy of small, lightening raids against English settlements is made clear in the video. I found the maps particularly helpful in understanding the hopelessness of George Washington's task of defending the border. The French strategy, along with English bumbling and ineptitude, make one wonder how the English were able to win this war. We also see how George Washington matures and gains invaluable knowledge and experience that will help him later as leader of the Continental army. This is a great DVD to help one understand a war that set the stage for the American Revolution. I can hardly wait for the next in the series.

This movie,which is the sequel to When the Forest Ran Red,is a fantastic journey through history.It takes place during The French & Indian War.It also shows "The Battle of Grant's Hill" for the first time on film.This Native American victory was even more profound than The Little Big Horn and Custer's defeat.I liked the use of the many reenactors,and how it all came together.A must see for history buffs.
