Thread Name: Lyr Add: Acadian Driftwood (Robbie Robertson)
Subject: RE: Acadian Driftwood - Plains of Abraham?
The conflict in question is known to the British (and Canadians, I guess) as the Seven Years' War, and in the U.S. as the French and Indian War. Just as the Yankees and Confederates had different names for the same battles of the U.S. Civil War (which the Confederates called the War Between the States). But my favorite name of all time has to be the War of Jenkins' Ear.
