9:15-10:00 Why did the British Empire in North America Become Territorial in 1763?Although, before the Seven Years
War, Britain chiefly valued its North American colonies for reasons of trade, the war began over disputed control of
the interior, and the peace terms of 1763 awarded Britain the entire expanse of land to the Mississippi River. Since this
was an outcome that the British government had neither sought nor much desired, it needs to be explained. Daniel A.
Baugh is Professor Emeritus of Modern British History at Cornell University and author of The Global Seven Years War,
1754-1763: Britain and France in a Great Power Contest. He was awarded the Caird Medal by the National Maritime
Museum (Greenwich, London) in 2011 for his contributions in research of British naval administration.
10:15-11:00 Lost and Found: The Discovery of Fort Morris, Shippensburg, PAFor more than 100 years the location of
Fort Morris, a Pennsylvania provincial fort dating to 1756-1764, was debated by historians and scholars. Learn howmultidisciplinary research, incorporating archaeology, history, and cultural geography, were employed to discover the
site. Stephen G. Warfel is a retired Senior Curator of Archaeology at The State Museum of Pennsylvania and has
conducted archaeological investigations at Fort Morris, Fort Loudoun, and Fort Augustaall Pennsylvania French &
Indian War period sites.
11:15-12:00 How French Were the French? The Demographic and Cultural Diversity of French Forces in the French & Indian
WarThe military forces that the French Crown marshaled to defend its possessions in North America included not
only professional soldiers from France itself, but also Native Americans, residents of New France of European descent,
and foreigners from diverse parts of Europe who enlisted in French units. This presentation considers the military
experience of troops serving France who were not natives of the French metropole, as well as the cultural and politi-
cal significance of demographically diverse forces within the context of 18th-century European imperialism. Christopher

12:15-1:45 Lunch Break (box lunch from Americas Fort Caf included in the registraton fee)
1:00-1:30 Book Signing in the Museum Store.
2:00-2:45 What Amherst Left Behind: An Historical and Archaeological Analysis of Lake Georges Sunken Bateaux of
1758In the autumn of 1758, British and provincial forces at Lake George completed a deliberate sinking of 260bateaux and other types of warships, a tactic to protect the fleet over the winter of 1758-1759 from the French
forces. Many of these submerged vessels were raised by British General Jeffery Amhersts army in 1759 and used
that year in the campaign to seize the French forts in the Champlain Valley. Historian Dr. Russell P. Bellicoand under-
water archaeologist Joseph W. Zarzynski, RPA will present the historical background about this event and provide an
archaeological analysis of the spatial distribution and structural condition of the submerged bateaux that Amhersts
soldiers left behind in the lake.
3:00-3:45 Fill the Bowl Again!In a sutlers booth or an officers marquee, in camp or on the march, alcoholic bever-
ages were an important part of life for British and colonial troops in North America. This presentation looks at popular
beverages, drinking customs, and the paraphernalia associated with them during the French & Indian and Revolution-
ary Wars. Phil Dunning is a material culture researcher in archaeology. As a reenactor, he interprets an 18th-century
sutler.5:00 Dinner at Americas Fort Caf(pre-registration only)
7:00-8:00 Blue broad Cloth Laplld Coats of various Sizes, Kersey and Frize dittoThis presentation examines the dress
of Massachusetts Provincial soldiers in 1758. Through primary sources, we will examine Governor Thomas Pownalls
impact on supplying the troops and pose the question: Just what wereMassachusetts soldiers wearing in 1758? Shaun
Pekaris a scholar of 18th-century military material culture and decorative arts and is currently Artificer Shoemaker at
Fort Ticonderoga.

9:15-10:00 Whatever our Fate may beColonel Bouquets 1763 Expedition to Fort Pitt and the Battle of Bushy Run This
presentation examines the overall campaign to relieve Fort Pitt during Pontiacs War. A special emphasis will be placed
on the two-day battle fought near Bushy Run Station, discussing the strategies and tactics of the combatants. David P.
Millerhas been employed with the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission since 1998 and served as the
Director of Education at Bushy Run Battlefield for 11 years.
10:15-11:00 Not in the most regular manner: The Royal American Regiment at Ticonderoga, 8 July 1758This presenta-
tion demonstrates that service conditions between 1756-58 had not prepared Royal American detachments to oper-
ate effectively with other British regiments in conventional engagements. Consequently, their poor performance at
Ticonderoga was the result of political interference, suspect leadership, inadequate training, and divided command: all
liabilities magnified by the heat of battle. Alexander V. Campbell, a former infantryman in the Canadian Armed Forces,
earned his Ph.D. in history from the University of Western Ontario and is the author of The Royal American Regiment:
An Atlantic Microcosm, 1755-1772. His current research interest focuses upon the military dimension of the NorthAmerican fur trade between 1760 and 1821.
11:15-12:00 North Carolinas French & Indian War, 1754-1761North Carolina was far from the principal seat of war
from 1754-1763, but contributed men and money to the war effort in the northern theatre, within its own borders, and
later against the Cherokees in the south. How they did soand their successes and failures during the conflictwill be
examined. John R. Maassis a historian at the U.S. Army Center of Military History in Washington, D.C., working on the
Armys commemoration of the Civil War 150thand the War of 1812 Bicentennial. He earned his M.A. at the University
of North Carolina at Greensboro and his Ph.D. at Ohio State University.
