Not sure if the written account is true or just great poetry , but the accounts of the battle are accurate. My GGGG Grandfather served under Braddock and drove a supply wagon at Braddocks defeat. He was one survivors.

Got a couple of old indian fighters in my lines, too. Virginia, Richard and Joshua Cox/Cocke, descendants of the Irish Sir Richard Cox, III. A number of their descendants married indians. Just business, nothing personal, I guess.
