Is there any info out there on this battle,part of Pontiac's Rebellion? Been looking for a book about it by Edward W. Ahrens. One available through Amazon but for $199.99 USD but that's not happening.

Have you tried to get it through inter-library loan via your local library? There may be a small fee, but nothing like $199 USD !!! Jim |

Good advice from ColCampbell ! Really hard-to-find volumes will be sent at almost no cost to your local branch for you to use and enjoy. |

Only a couple of pages in Parkman's, which really aren't helpful. |

Certainly Interlibrary Loan, but never stop with just Amazon when the price is high. Try the Antiquarian Booksellers Association too. abaa.org |

If it is the battle along the banks of the Niagara River you may want to contact the research library at Fort Niagara. |

There's a description of the event in Allan Eckert's 'The Conquerors' if I recall correctly, but that's a novelization, not a scholarly treatment… |

Go to the seller's link and try the 'ask a question' button.
This looks like a decimal point error which happens sometimes. |

"You're correct, the price should be $1,999.99 USD". I can just hear it now. |

When a book is no longer readily available some jack up the price beyond reasonable.I sold a book a few years back. I paid about $50 USD when I bought it but wasn't going to need it anymore so I put it up for about $25. USDA guy in the Netherlands wanted it so the shipping was about $40 USD so I gave it to him for $55. USDWell I find out later that you couldn't get this book for under $900 USD now.After kicking myself a few times I realized how people take people over on hard to find books.
