Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Biographical Sketch of George Washington This trust of danger and fatigue he executed with great ability. He left Williamsburg, October 31, 17 53, the very day on which he received his commission, and at the frontier settlement of the Eng lish engaged guides to conduct him over the Allegheny mountains. After passing them he pursued his route to the Monongahela examining the country with a military eye, and taking the most judicious means for securing the friendship of the Indians. He selected the forks of the Monongahela and Allegheny rivers as a position which ought to be immediately possessed and fortified. At this place the French very soon erected Fort duquesne, which fell into the hands of the English in 17 58, and was called by them Fort Pitt? Pursuing his way up the Allegheny to French Creek, he found at the fort upon this stream the commanding officer, to whom he delivered the letter from Mr. Dinwiddie. On his return he encountered great difficulties and dangers. As the snow was deep and the horses weak from fatigue, he left his attendants at the mouth of French Creek, and set out on foot, with his papers and provisions in his pack, accompanied only by a pilot by the name of Gist. At a place upon the Allegheny, called Murdering Town, they fell in with a hostile Indian who was one of a party then lying in wait, and who fired upon them not ten steps distant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Washington played a vital role in the founding of the United States. He was commander of the Continental Army during the American Revolution, presided over the convention that drafted the U.S. Constitution, and served as the first president. To honor Washington for his contributions, in the 1840s construction began on a monument in his honor—a stone obelisk that rises more than 550 feet in the sky above the capital. It took nearly 40 years before the monument was completed. Each year, millions of people visit the Washington Monument, which represents the achievements of George Washington, and the gratitude that Americans feel toward the "Father of our Country."
