Summary:"The conquest of Port Royal by British forces in 1710 is an intensely revealing episode in the history of northeastern North America. Bringing together multilayered perspectives, including the conquest's effects on aboriginal inhabitants, Acadians, and New Englanders, and using a variety of methodologies to contextualize the incident in local, regional, and imperial terms, six prominent scholars form new conclusions regarding the events of 1710."
