Someone on the Crown's side fired first, whether a militiaman or Indian. Jumonville's men were surprised.

Revolution bump.

Americans are no more familiar with it than they are with the Peloponnesian War.

Was Washington responsible for the Peloponnesian War, too? No doubt he crossed the Delaware in triremes.

Don't forget -- Washington had no kids, so he must have been gay as a goose. /sarc

the rest of this is a footer prototype. G'head, try the links, s'cool.

Pharmboy, I don't post much but, I do want you to know I read and appreciate each item you post.

I agree with the paragraphs posted! It was that Allengenhy skirmish that Captain Washington spent the whole of his life, stalwart and resolute, to fix. At the time Washington confessed in writing to being THE Assassin who fired the shot which killed the French nobleman and legate. Sort of like the situation of Moses, both Washington and Moses were killers as young men by Necessities' Circumstance, and yet by the dedication, resolve and humility of the remainder of their lifes each came to found a great Nation.

The book is probably very good ,but the reviewer is full of BS, he immediately starts drawing the cloak of concealment over the American Indian,his role in the massacre, and his role as a bloodthirsty nightmare in the conflicts of the time, ands times soon to follow. No white commander whether British, French, Spanish, or American could control them even when under their command, although
Rogers Rangers did finally break the back of the powerful Iroquois.

Sorry for the late ping....I have been away from my computer for the last couple of weeks.

I wish the reviewer(s) would at least mention that the 7-Years War was a European conflict, and that the French & Indian Wars were an outgrowth of that European war. The French & Indian Wars alone is not what is meant by the Seven Years War.
