	Jeffrey Amherst, Baron Amherst - LoveToKnow 1911
		JEFFREY AMHERST AMHERST, Baron (1717-1797), British soldier, was the son of Jeffrey Amherst of Riverhead, Kent, and by the interest of the duke of Dorset obtained an ensigncy in the Guards in 1731.
		In 1768 the king, who had had a quarrel with Amherst, made amends by giving him another colonelcy; in 1770 he was made governor of Guernsey; and two years later, though not yet a full general, he was made lieutenant-general of the ordnance and acting commander-in-chief of the forces.
		In 1796 Lord Amherst was made field-marshal; and he died on the 3rd of August 1797 at "Montreal," his residence in Kent.

		Although Amherst's name is usually connected with this incident because he was the overall commander and because of his correspondence with Bouquet, evidence appears to indicate that the attempt was made without Amherst's prior knowledge.
		Amherst served as the nominal Crown Governor of Virginia from 1759-1768, however Francis Fauquier continued his role as acting governor from the previous term.
		Amherst was raised to the peerage in 1776, as Baron Amherst of Holmesdale.

	Historical Biographies, Nova Scotia: Jeffrey Amherst (1717-97).
		A couple of days after that he was invited into the august presence of the "Lords of the Treasury." Amherst was still very much in the dark, however, it was not for him to be asking questions of the lords who sat in their robes before him.
		To some of those in power, Amherst was unknown, but a mere snip of a military man; and, it seems plain, that at this point the decision had yet to be made that Amherst should lead one of England's armies.
		Amherst, as might be imagined, throughout all of this, kept his composure -- that of a disciplined military officer.

	Jeffrey Amherst and Smallpox Blankets Amherst
		These are images of microfilmed original letters written between General Amherst and his officers and others in his command during the summer of 1763, when the British were fighting what became known as Pontiac's Rebellion.
		Indians were angered by Amherst's refusal to continue the French practice of providing supplies in exchange for Indian friendship and assistance, and by a generally imperious British attitude toward Indians and Indian land.
		Amherst has been at war with the French as much as with the Indians; but he showed no obsessive desire to extirpate them from the earth.
