A nation calls

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.

Washington would spend much of the French & Indian War suffering through dysentary and other illnesses.

Washington's heart did not always belong to
Martha Custis. From his
camp at Fort Cumberland, he pens a controversial
letter to Sarah Cary Fairfax, known as Sally, in 1758.
