Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This is an 8 page paper comparing two different articles by Canadian historians on the Seven Years’ War. Two articles by Canadian historians Peter MacLeod (The University of Ottawa) and Ian Steele (The University of Western Ontario) give two different perspectives on the Seven Years’ War in United States and Canada between the years 1756-1763. MacLeod gives an in depth narrative of the influence of the Catholic Church on the Canadian Iroquois and the Amerindians along the St. Lawrence River near Montreal. Although many people are aware that a strong alliance existed between the Iroquois and the French, MacLeod explains how deeply this connection is related to their ties through Catholicism. Steele’s article is an examination along with four other critics to the recently released Fred Anderson book on the Seven Years’ War. Although the critics admit that the book has made available information about the Seven Years’ War to a larger audience than was available before, they were “shocked” to discover that Anderson only used English sources for his narrative. After reading MacLeod’s history on the Iroquois in New France, it is easy to see how Steele is justified in condemning Anderson in his obvious exclusion of more personal and French accounts of the Seven Years’ War. In combination, both sources give the reader an idea what range of material is available on the Seven Year’s War and in many ways complement each other when taken together.
Bibliography lists 3 sources.

see how Steele is justified in condemning Anderson in his obvious exclusion of more personal and French accounts of the Seven Years War. In combination, both sources give the reader
an idea what range of material is available on the Seven Years War and in many ways complement each other when taken together.
In Peter MacLeods (University of Ottawa) 1996 article "Catholicism, Alliances and Amerindian Evangelists during the Seven Years War", MacLeod tells of the Catholic village of Kanesetake located along the upper
St. Lawrence River near Montreal. His article begins with a narrative of a new visitor to the village, Robert Eastburn, being taken there by the "Canadian Iroquois" who consisted of
the people of Akwasasne, Kahnawake, Kanesetake, and Oswaegatchie (MacLeod 63). MacLeods introduction tells of Eastburns appraisal of the Stations of the Cross which were located in the village, an obvious
