He was the best.
Glad you have been able to visit those historical places.
My great grandfather times nine fought with him in the French and Indian War where Pittsburgh is now.
They were fighting with the British, this was before the Revolutionary War.
It was a disaster, it’s a wonder my grandfather Poage survived.

Oh, my heavens, yes, it was awful. Washington learned a lot from those mistakes — his and those of others.

If you have not been to the Ft Necessity Battlefield, I highly recommend it.

I feel blessed to live in Maryland, as we have been able to visit so many historical places here and in Pennsylvania and in Virginia. So many of these places are not that far for us. Fortunately, the husband enables my obsession. Blessed, as well, to have him.
