Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Soldier of Virginia: A Tale of Colonel Washington and Braddock's Defeat
Think you so and Allen laughed an insult ing laugh. There was that little brush at Fort Necessity last year, from which they brought away nothing but their skins, and damned glad they were to do that.
They brought away their arms, I cried hotly, and would have brought away all their stores and munitions, had the French kept faith and held their Indians off. That, too, in face of an enemy three times their number. The Virginians have no cause to blush for their conduct at Fort Necessity. The Coldstreams could have done no better.
Allen laughed again. Ah, pardon me, Stewart, he said contemptuously, I forgot that you were present on that glorious day.
