I found this book at the local bookstore. Printed by Osprey Publishing. full title is: 'The Forts of New France The Great Lakes, the Plains, and the Gulf Coast 1600-1763'. 64 pages including bibliography, one page index, glossary. One line blurb on the back is: 'Designs, technology and history of key fortresses, strategic positions, and defensive systems.'
There are contemporary drawings, recreation drawings of the forts, sketches, floor plans, oblique overhead views, parts of personal accounts, timeline, large continental section map, etc.
Goes from New Orleans up into Canada.
Cost me: $18.95 US, also lists UK 11.99 pounds, CAN $22.00
