Re: Семилетняя война...

>Может быть все-таки Саймон Брэдстрит из Массачусетса интересует? Ибо касательно Семилетней войны на Американском театре никаких Брэдстритов мной замечено не было.

Таки Джон, вот этот:
In 1746, now Captain Bradstreet was appointed Lieutenant Governor of Newfoundland. He served until 1751 when he went to England. Returning with General Edward Braddock in 1755, he was sent to Oswego to support the command of Governor William Shirley. In that year, he received a New York commission to be the commissary at Oswego - thus providing him with an opportunity for profit. By the summer of 1756, he was stationed in Albany and was living as the guest of a young provincial officer named Philip Schuyler.

During the Seven Years War, Bradstreet served at Oswego, Halifax, and Ticonderoga. In 1758, he led an expedition that captured Fort Frontenac (Kingston). His active military career was distinguished and he reached the rank of Colonel in 1762. He led an expedition against the western Indians and negotiated a treaty with them at Detroit in 1764.
