About William Eyre
William Eyre was a British Army officer who served with some distinction during the 7 Years War. Eyre was an engineer by trade who commanded infantry and irregulars successfully in North America. Eyre won a notable victory whilst defending Fort William Henry from a Franco-Native assault in March 1757, several months before the more well known siege made famous in the novel Last of the Mohicans. Eyre was instrumental in the design and construction of Anglo-American fortifications in the New York-Niagara frontier.
