One of the leaders who took over command after the death of the French captain was Charles Michel de Langlade, a Canadian born french officer who was also an Odawa war chief having taken part in his first battle with them at 13 years old. He participated in 100 battles in total from inter tribal wars to the French and Indian war to the American Revolution and finally the war of 1812. He retired in Wisconsin at La Prairie du Chien near Baie Verte (Green Bay today). He is considered the Founding Father of Wisconsin.
I made a mistake, Langlade didn’t take part in the War of 1812 since he died before. Everything else is accurate. There is an author, historian and anthropologist, now deceased and named Serge Bouchard who wrote about Langlade but I don’t think his work was ever translated to English. I’ll look what I can find.
Serge Bouchard wrote extensively about the different native cultures of Québec and Canada, as well as the History of the first French explorers, the french running the fur trade, running in the wild and who prefered living with the natives , the native way . He wrote about a number of them , their lives , and why they ran away from french society. These coureurs des bois couldn’t stand the hierarchy, the control of the Catholic clergy had over every aspect of life . They prefered the freedom and the native ´s culture. Serge Bouchard also wrote a deep kind of poetry, and sociological essays way out of norms . He also hosted a radio show for years cald « the side ways roads « Les chemins de travers - He was a humble genius in own kind .
It's great narration, perhaps only the title of the channel limit the content a bit, to what could have become a channel embracing much larger themes, but also that's a thing that is great about it, with how it's specializes in US history.
The British did learn lessons from their experiences in North American forests and fighting behind trees. They fully implemented regiments of riflemen taught to actively use cover, work in 2 man teams, and act independently much like modern snipers.
I grew up 2 miles from the battlefield. Had a friend that lived right on top of it and his mom would find arrowheads when she was digging her garden and planting flowers and whatnot.
Washington led the remainder of the troops all the way to the southern tier of the Finger Lakes Region in today's Upstate New York. He collected the men and rested at the Seneca Village located at the southern end of Canandaigua Lake, what is in today Naples NY. There is a marker there today denoting this event.
Yes but during the American revolution they did finally figure out how to use highly trained and lightly armed small mobile units that could quickly reload while on the run and harass the colonials, but it was too little too late. IIRC these units ditched the red coats (too heavy and cumbersome) and so their uniforms were white.
The brits didn't like the way the Irish fought, using guerrilla warfare and called the Irish terrorists, I'm sure they were calling our men the same. We got our freedom and someday the Irish will be free too.

Thanks for the information! Any recommended reading on CPT. Langlade's life?

While listening I kept seeing the British retreat scene from Last of the Mohicans.
Same here. What a great film! Same idea, different massacre lol
Merci !
Best history channel on TH-cam

I grew up in this area outside of Uniontown. Thanks for sharing our rich and storied history
Hello from Canada 🇨🇦. Thank you 💛 for another history lesson.
The British did learn lessons from their experiences in North American forests and fighting behind trees. They fully implemented regiments of riflemen taught to actively use cover, work in 2 man teams, and act independently much like modern snipers.
This all happened close to my home. And old home, Pittsburgh...
George Washington knew he was the main character.
Happy Friday! ❤ history at the ok corral🙏🏿🇺🇸
Top shelf storytelling 💯👌
I think of this battle through books and a series called The War that made America.
A lot of information. Thanks !
Loved this, I love the old west; but French Indian/ British era holds special spot with me
I am enjoying this series on Washington and his early military career. Are you going to go into more detail of the French and Indian war?
Hi from Appalachia ⛰️
After the agony of riding all day an angry George Washington was the first American recorded suffering "roid rage"
Pillow on d saddle
I grew up 2 miles from the battlefield. Had a friend that lived right on top of it and his mom would find arrowheads when she was digging her garden and planting flowers and whatnot.
Excellent
A lot of imformation. Thanks !
Washington later commanded Fort Mediocrity.
How much are you willing to spend old chap??
In the 3 minutes since I learned George Washington had hemorrhoids, I've told anyone that would listen
I wonder how many of those original paths are now roads in 2024…?
Lawrence was not his father, he was his older half brother.
Remember when Ubisoft made great games.?
No, but I used to have to pay ¢ 25 a pop to play "Robotron 2084" at an arcade. 🎉
@@bold810 Close enough
@@bold810 no you didn't.
AC3 began my love of history back as a pre teen
I’m still playing rainbow six siege. 🤷🏼♂️
Awesome once again. Thank you!! I love this history!!

How do I go about acquiring slaves?!
The Brits were slow to adapt to this kind of guerilla fighting.

Just like the sneaky, double-dealing, low-down, two-faced, floor-flushing colonial French to fight that way!!! 😂

They learned soon enough.
@@SSHitMan Yeah, 20 years hence.
Can we get map?
Washington was a BAMF.
dumb bear
I’m definitely not of English decent because I would hide behind a tree or rock, common sense! Thanks
🤠🇨🇦👍🍿🥶🥵
