A Charming Field For An Encounter
The volley fired by a young Virginian in the backwoods of America set the world on fire. - Horace Walpole
In late 1753, Virginiaâs colonial governor dispatched a young George Washington to the Ohio River Valley. His mission: to stop the French from encroaching on the highly coveted, âBritish-claimedâ region. The French refused to abandon their post and continued fortifying the area.
A Charming Field for an Encounter: The Story of George Washingtonâs Fort Necessity details this initial diplomatic effort and the two resulting skirmishes: the Jumonville affair and the Battle of Fort Necessity. Using direct quotes from historical documentation, like Washingtonâs own journal, and vivid accounts of the people and places involved, Alberts frames these two encounters as the âopening shots of the bloodiest conflict of the 18th centuryââthe Seven Yearsâ (French and Indian) War.
