   Episode 25 - The Daring Raid on Fort Frontenac

   The British are eager to wipe the foul taste of the defeat at Carillon from their mouths. But General Abercromby is not the most audacious of men, to say the least. Fortunately for the British, there is a man whose boldness, experience, and drive leads to a daring expedition against a French installation far away. Who could lead this attack? None but John Bradstreet. Intro & Outro music - "Drums and Guns" by Village Volunteers Drum & Fife Corps

   Episode 24 - The Battle of Fort Carillon, 1758

   The largest army thus organized in North America comes crashing down upon one of New France's most tenuous fortifications. Should the French fail, nothing can stop the inexorable advance of the British on Montreal and the heart of the colony. Key to the drive of this massive army is the bold and wise Lord Howe, who shows a real understanding of frontier warfare. Join us as we cover one of the bloodiest days of the war as the British attack Fort Carillon in 1758. You won't want to miss it! *Apologies for my audio in this one - had some difficulties beforehand and was recording in a different location. Intro & outro music - "Drums and Guns" by Village Volunteers Drum & Fife Corps

   Episode 23 - The Forbes Expedition w/ special guest Matt Gault

   The story of the Forbes Expedition may well be the most fascinating of all the many French-British clashes in 1758. Join us as we welcome Matt Gault, Director of Education and Living History at Fort Ligonier, who guides us through the highs and lows of the British Empire's first attempt in three long years to finally dislodge the French from the forks of the Ohio River. Intro & Outro music - "Drums and Guns" by Village Volunteers Drum & Fife Corps
