Book Description
Excerpt from A Charming Field for an Encounter: The Story of George Washington's Fort Necessity A distinguished American historian, Lawrence Henry Gipson, considered this the most important of all the wars the United States has fought. It was destined, he wrote, to have the most momentous consequences to the Amer ican people of any war in which they have been engaged down to our own day - consequences therefore even more momentous than those that flowed from the victorious Revolutionary War or from the Civil War. For it was to de termine for centuries to come, if not for all time, what civili zation - what governmental institutions, what social and economic patterns - would be paramount in North Amer ica. It was to determine likewise whether Americans were to be securely confined to a long but narrow ribbon of territory lying between the coastline and a not too distant mountain chain, and whether their rivals, the French - then considered to be the greatest military power in the world and in control of the Appalachians - were to remain a permanent and effective barrier to any enjoyment of the vast western interior of the continent.

Book Description
A historical novel about the Seven Years’ War, a conflict that shaped a young George Washington decades before the American Revolution. On May 28, 1754, the colonial militia surrounded a party of French-Canadian soldiers. With 15 minutes of rifle fire, the colonists slaughtered the French, then allowed Indian guides to take the corpses’ scalps. Observing this grisly scene was a towering young major named George Washington. In the aftermath of the Battle of Jumonville Glen, Washington retreated to Fort Necessity, where he was soon forced to surrender, signing a document claiming responsibility for the assassination of French troops. The result would be the Seven Years’ War—the greatest international conflict the globe had ever seen. It would also be the making of a statesman. In this rousing historical novel, Michael Kilian reconstructs the events in Washington’s life that led to that pivotal day at Jumonville Glen and molded the man who would create a country.
