Braddock Road

"Braddock Road" recounts the ill-fated Braddock's Campaign of 1755, a pivotal moment in colonial history and the French and Indian War. John Kennedy Lacock meticulously details the events surrounding General Edward Braddock's attempt to capture Fort Duquesne, exploring the military strategies, challenges, and ultimate defeat that shaped the early conflict. This historical account offers a compelling examination of the campaign, deeply rooted in the era of the American colonies. Readers gain insight into the strategies and struggles of the period. The narrative sheds light on the early military career of George Washington, who served as an aide-de-camp during the expedition. A valuable resource for those interested in military history, colonial history, and the pre-Revolutionary War period.
