The Shops at Colonial Williamsburg Duel in the Wilderness

Product Description

Major George Washington stared grimly at the French commander facing him. The young Virginian had traveled hundreds of miles into the frontier to deliver a message from the King of England. After a dangerous journey, Washington had arrived at his destination, only to be told that he should deliver his missive to the French governor in Quebec. And then . . . Based on Washington's journal, this novel for middle-grade readers tells the true story of his 1753-1754 journey into the Ohio country. Adults and children alike will find this tale of exciting encounters with hostile and friendly Indians and with the French hard to put down.
