The Mississippi Basin: The Struggle In America Between England And France, 1697-1763 is a historical book written by Justin Winsor and first published in 1895. The book focuses on the conflict between England and France over the control of the Mississippi Basin in North America during the period of 1697-1763. Winsor provides a detailed account of the political and military events that took place during this time, including the establishment of French settlements in Louisiana, the founding of New Orleans, and the construction of Fort Duquesne by the French. He also covers the various battles and skirmishes that occurred between the two powers, such as the Battle of Fort Necessity and the Battle of the Plains of Abraham.The book delves into the complex relationships between the European powers and the Native American tribes in the region, as well as the impact of the conflict on the colonists and settlers who were caught in the middle. Winsor also analyzes the economic and strategic importance of the Mississippi Basin to both England and France, and how this conflict ultimately led to the French and Indian War.Overall, The Mississippi Basin is a comprehensive and insightful account of a significant period in American history, providing readers with a deeper understanding of the struggle for dominance in North America between England and France.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
