Summary
In the early winter of 1752, George Washington marched into the Ohio River Valley to deliver a message to the French who had begun to build forts down the valley in direct violation of the peace between France and England. On this journey, Washington met a cadre of interesting characters including the Half-King and Christopher Gist. What happened was a tale of survival and hardship that served as the first early steps towards war that would erupt in 1754.
