Recent review of Endgame 1758

Journal of the Royal Nova Scotia Historical Society, Volume 11 (2008), pp. 202-204. In a book review by Julian Gwyn, now retired but formerly a professor of history at the University of Ottawa:

P. 203: "The author, already well-established as a published expert on Louisbourgunder French rule, has produced the best account yet of the fortress's last decade 1749-58."
[...]
"Johnston's detailed study of events in Louisbourg from the time of its recovery by a French garrison in the summer of 1749 to the departure of French prisoners of war nine years later is to be greatly welcomed. This aspect of Louisbourg's history is unlikely to be improved until newdocuments are located."
