Pursuit of Honor
The Rise of George Washington

First in War

.....................................................

A military career begins. Washington is 500 miles from home in the dead of winter to deliver an order to vacate to the French army in 1753. The Virginian is only 21 years old.

Washington stares into the campfire and ponders his
mission to and from French
Fort LeBoeuf.

Washington orders that aid be given a wounded British officer during the retreat from Braddock's Field.

In the wake of Braddock's Defeat, Washington has the impossible job of leading the defense of Virginia against marauding French and Indians from Fort Duquesne. Here he leads a forest scout in 1757.

At his headquarters at Fort Loudoun in Winchester, Washington hears endless reports of bad news from
his officers of the
Virginia Regiment.

In June 1775, Washington gives up on 17 years of peace and rides off to take command of an army not yet formed. In so doing, he risks everything for which he has worked--his home, his fortune, his marriage, and his life.

Harkening back to his days
with the retreating army of Edward Braddock,
Washington leads his inexperienced army on a strategic withdrawal
from the British on
Long Island, New York.

Washington in the midst of
chaos at the battle of
Monmouth; instead of
attacking as ordered, Gen. Charles Lee has retreated.
After an angry tirade, Washington leads his
troops to victory.
