White Devil by Brumwell

[Doc Rogers]

I know there was a post somewhere about this book but I cannot find it.

I just wanted to say that this is an excellent book. Reads like a fiction novel, could not put it down. Very readible and to my somewhat scientific mind, very well researched and backed up by original sources.

If you've any interest in Robert Rogers or the F & I War, it's a great read.

Does anyone know of any other "readible" F & I War novels?

They do not have to be non-fiction and I've already read cooper's works and NW Passage.

Thanks,
Doc

My all time favorite F&I novel is an old one that was released through the old Buckskin Press called Divers Adventures A Legacy Found by Greg Gieger.The adventures of Hannibal Fitch during Ye olde french War...Gieger just wrote another book not too long ago so Maybe he can find another publisherfor this one again. It reminds me of Little big man crossed with Northwest passage,And would make a great movie.
I think he is a reenactor so perhaps someone knows him out there...Mark

I enjoyed it, but thought his previous work, Redcoat, was better.

Read any of Alan Eckert's books. Excellant writing, but from what I have heard questionable reliability for accuracy. His series spans from F&I up through the Blackhawk wars.

I knew I'd seen some posts on the book somewhere, I just was not looking far enough back to find them.

Anyways, great book and thanks to everyone for the other suggestions.

What about the Parkman book "Montcalm and Wolf" written in the late 1800's? I've heard it's a bit of hero worship for the English but it seems to be a F & I War classic. Thoughts?

Parkman's Book is a good read. It's well written and meticulously researched, but reflects a lot of Parkman's prejudices, those prejudices where probably pretty common to the academicians of his time though.

Also try Crucible of War by Fred Anderson.
