Publisher's Synopsis
In 1753, a young George Washington undertook a perilous journey through the Ohio wilderness to deliver a message to the French, setting the stage for the French and Indian War and the eventual founding of the United States. Drawing on contemporary accounts and his own extensive research, Archer Butler Hulbert recreates Washington's journey and sheds new light on this formative chapter in American history. A vivid and engaging narrative for history buffs and general readers alike.
