Harsh winters.

[tiaradesmarais]

In King Williams’ War Governor Frontenac launched a series of attacks on the thirteen colonies. The English then launched a series of brutal counter-attacks. They had a successful assault on the settlement of Port Royal in Acadia. They then went on to their attack of Quebec, but the onset of winter ended their siege. If winter limited them from doing so much, how did they live through the harsh weather? I have a hard time staying warm in the winter, without the technology we have today, how did they survive? Did wars just pause when winter came around? How did the invention of the show shoes benefit them so much? Since they had to travel so far to attack, did they ever get lost? It doesn’t make sense to me how they would get places so far away without the transportation we have today.

Wars were generally fought in the spring, summer and fall. So, yeah, breaks were taken during the winter months....well mostly.

People survived by building shelters and building fires and wiring animals furs and clothing of all sorts, etc.

And yes people got lost, i.e. Benedict Arnold's army from America got lost in the 1770s when attacking Canada.
