I have a book autographed by the author entitled 'The Siege of Fort Cumberland
1776 - An Episode in the American Revolution'.  It was written by Ernest Clarke,
architect, town planner and independent historian.

I attended a reenactment of the story in Parrsboro, Nova Scotia in 1996.  I find
no reference to Braddock or to Sir John St. Clair in the book.  The story,
however, is fascinating.  McGill-Queen's University Press 1995 ISBN
0-7735-1323-X .

I will attempt to locate the author and inquire about the absence  of reference
to Braddock & St. Clair referring him to your comment.

Would like to hear from you.
