Braddock's Road: Mapping the British Expedition from Alexandria to the Monongahela

 
       
  by Norman Baker
$19.99  
     
 

Pittsburgh's Lost OutpostIn 1755, Major General Edward Braddock and two army regiments set out from Alexandria with the objective of capturing Fort Duquesne, near present-day Pittsburgh. To transport their sizable train of artillery and wagons, they first had to build a road across the rugged Appalachian Mountains. It was almost 289 treacherous miles from Alexandria, Virginia, by way of Fort Cumberland in Maryland and on to the French fort; the road they built was one of the most impressive military engineering accomplishments of the eighteenth century.

Historian Norman L. Baker chronicles the construction of the road and creates the definitive mapping of even those sections once thought lost. Join Baker as he charts the history of Braddock's Road until the ultimate catastrophic collision with the combined French and Indian forces

Paperback, 2013, 190 pages, b/w illustrations & photos, notes, index, $19.99.
