The 2008 St. Clair Lecture will be presented on Wednesday, October 8th at 7:30 PM in the Ferguson Auditorium in Smith Hall on the campus of The University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg. The lecturer will be Dr. Michael N. McConnell, Associate Professor of History at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Dr. McConnell's lecture will be titled
"The British and Indian War in Pennsylvania, 1758" which will examine the relationship between General Forbes and his Indian allies during his campaign against Ft. Duquesne.

Dr. McConnell has written two books about the French & Indian War period. The first, "A Country Between:The Upper Ohio Valley and its Peoples 1724-1774", examines the relationship between Native Americans and the French and British. His most recent book, "Army & Empire: British Soldiers on the American Frontier 1758-1775" examines the lives and experiences of British soldiers faced with the challenges of surviving on the far western edge of the Empire.
