The French and Indian War
(The 7 Years War)
T French and Indian War (1754-1763) was the North American chapter of the Seven Years' War. The name refers to the two main enemies of the British: the royal French forces and the various American Indian forces allied with them. The conflict, the fourth such colonial war between the kingdoms of France and Great Britain, resulted in the British conquest of all of New France east of the Mississippi River, as well as Spanish Florida. The outcome was one of the most significant developments in a century of Anglo-French conflict. To compensate its ally, Spain, for its loss of Florida, France ceded its control of French Louisiana west of the Mississippi. France's colonial presence north of the Caribbean was reduced to the tiny islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon.

Established in 1975, the reactivated Joshua Beall?s Company is a group of volunteer military reenactors and living historians portraying this early provincial unit. The group operates as a Volunteers-In-Parks (VIP) program with the Fort Frederick State Park - Maryland Park Service. The unit is a family friendly organization that not only has the rank and file provincial soldier, but a wide variety of other impressions including musicians, native allies, and camp followers. We are a laid back group that strives for high authentic standards but is not ?in your face? about it. Contact Brad Ireland at cprljohnivey_AT_aol.com
