| | Historical Biographies, Nova Scotia: John Winslow (1703-74). |
 | | Monckton, however, was not unfamiliar with Nova Scotia; and, indeed, was stationed at Nova Scotia since 1752, and in particular, was, for approximately a year (1752/1753), the commander of the English fort, Fort Lawrence, just opposite the objective, Fort Beauséjour. |
 | | The governors were to meet early in the spring of 1755, so, through the winter, Winslow was charged by Shirley to form an army of New Englanders, to get them outfitted and drilled, and ready for service. |
 | | With the early fall of Fort Beauséjour in June of 1755 (the taking of Fort Beauséjour was the only English military objective, of the four, met that year) there was, thereafter, to be an excess of English troops at the isthmus. |
