| Notes: | What happened at the forks of the Ohio between 1750 and 1760 profoundly affected the course of world history. It sparked a terrible global conflict and helped decide the fate of empires. This first volume in the AMERICAN FORTS SERIES tells the story of two frontier forts, Fort Duquesne and Fort Pitt, and their part in the epic struggle between England and France for North America. The story includes George Washington in defeat and victory, Gen. Edward Braddock and his disastrous march, Indian attacks and the final victory that would give rise to the city of Pittsburgh. |
