0:00.0 | War has played a key role in the history of the United States, from the nation's founding |
0:10.8 | right down to the present. War made the U.S. independent, kept it together, increased its |
0:16.5 | size, and established it as a global superpower. Understanding America's wars is essential for understanding American history. |
0:24.0 | Welcome to Key Battles of American History, |
0:26.8 | a podcast in which we discuss American history through the lens of the most important battles of America's wars. |
0:32.8 | Here is your host, James Early. |
0:43.4 | Thank you. your host, James Early. Hello and welcome to a special edition of Key Battles of American History. |
0:47.3 | I'm your host, James Early, as always. |

1:24.1 | we discussed that very campaign and we discussed the fall of Fort William Henry. So this will be a |
1:29.4 | nice supplement to that, I think. Now, this film discussion is going to be a two-part episode. |
1:35.3 | So today, Jacob and I, or in this episode, at least this first half, Jacob and I will discuss |
1:40.4 | the basic information about the film, along with some interesting trivia, as well as |
1:45.8 | probably about the first third of the story told by the film. And in the second half, our |
1:51.3 | next episode on this, Jacob and I will finish discussing the film's narrative, we'll rate the |
