: Ah HA! A related "This Day in History" has appeared in the History Channel's applet!

: Very appropriate, as the event covered is the prelude, really, to Braddock's Defeat the following year ...

: Jumonville Glen ... the Lexington of the French & Indian War ... [above] Fort Necessity, built by George Washington & his men after that event. It soon fell to the French who had taken over control of the region by driving off the British at the forks, now Pittsburgh, and building Fort Duquesne ... which leads us to Braddock's Defeat!

: You can read about that on the History Channel's Page (click on the applet on the Board's index) and here on the Web Site, at:
