  <abstract>Three journals (1756-1764 and 1776-1778) kept by French while serving with the British Army in America.  The first segment covers his service during the French and Indian War, especially during the siege of Louisbourg.  Includes descriptions of New York City, Philadelphia, Princeton, Trenton, and Albany, as well as accounts of journeys through Canada and a trip to South Carolina during which conferences with various Indian tribes were held.  The rest of the journal covers French's service during the American Revolution, especially his imprisonment in Hartford, Conn., and his duties in Rhode Island and New York.  Individuals represented in the journal include John Burgoyne, William Howe, Jonathan Trumbull, and George Washington.</abstract>
