like many western pennsylvania history buff and i have be really look forward to this much herald pb program that be produce by pittsburgh wqed . however and i must say now that i be somewhat disappointed . on the positive side and i believe that overall this film do a fair job of explain the main issue and describe the event of the so called french and indian war . in particular and it presentation of the indian point of view be somewhat new and quite interesting and although it certainly be at time over emphasize . also on the positive side and the blend of narrative and action scene be well do and come across somewhat good than many of these typical documentary make up of expert interview and picture still ( a la ken burn ) . on the negative side and many of the battle do have a somewhat staged look and many important aspect of the war be overlook . most of all i be very disappointed and frustrate by how little importance be give to forbes successful campaign of 1758 against fort duquesne a compare to the early failure of 1754 by washington and 1755 by braddock . in particular and i be somewhat incredulous that there be no mention of colonel henry bouquet and the swiss mercenary in the british service who be most responsible for forbes success . finally i could not believe the complete omission of the 1763 battle of bushy run that start a a re run of braddock defeat but end up a the victory that decide the outcome of pontiac war thanks to the wile of the same colonel bouquet who certainly must rank a one of the most successful british commander of this war .
