| The
first big international war, the Seven Years War, was fought in part
for control of the Allegheny and Ohio river valley. In 1758, this
point of land which had been the cause of the loss of many lives and
of much treasure, fell into the hands of the English; and again the
cross of St. George flew over the spot where the fleur-de-lis of St.
Louis had floated for four tempestuous years. |
