Joseph Frye (voiceover by David Cichowicz), Col. George Monro (voiceover by Jack Dixon), Louis Antoine De Bougainville (voiceover by Jacques Obadia), Col. James Montresor, and French General Marquis de Montcalm (voiceover by Luc De Villars) and his aide de camp; and insightful commentary by historian Ryan Hall, The French & Indian War 250th anniversary commemoration committee Secretary Thomas L.
