"1763 and the transformation of North America"--container. Unabridged compact disc. Read by Simon Vance.
Summary:
In February 1763, Britain, Spain, and France signed the Treaty of Paris, ending the French and Indian War. In this one document, more American territory changed hands than in any treaty before or since. As the great historian Francis Parkman wrote, 'half a continent...changed hands at the scratch of a pen.'
