Abstract:
An examination of two neglected accounts of the Anglo-Cherokee War of 1760-61 by Thomas Mante and James Boswell that clarify General Archibald Montgomerie's 1760 decision to halt his campaign short of relieving the besieged Fort Loudon. Mante and Boswell depict Montgomerie as an accomplished combat leader who correctly decided not to sacrifice his men in a possibly futile expedition as well as to preserve the regiment for the more important struggle against the French.
