Recenzii

"A fascinating portrayal of an historic period in the prenatal growth of our Republic; of the tragic drama of the passing of the Indian's way of life; of the formative phase of Washington's preparation for his future role as a Commander-in-Chief; and of the brutality, privation, hardship, peril and naked realism of frontier life in Western Pennsylvania in the mid-18th century."--Matthew B. Ridgeway, General, U.S. Army (ret.)
