Description: | This French Fort was built in 1751, in retaliation for the building of Fort Lawrence by the British. It was located in the 17th century French settlement of Beaubassin, which was previously known as Chignectou, on top of Beau Sejour Ridge The two opposing forts were about a mile apart and clearly visible to each other. In 1755 a British force succeeded in capturing Beau Sejour and renamed it Fort Cumberland. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Colins, Ensign Charles Husband | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
