BRADDOCKS GRAVE, Pa, March
5 (N.A.NA) Within a short space
of this lonely green mound in the midst
of the Alleghenies, Washington was
twice forsaken by fortune, and by 1t
runs the road whereon he found Lady
Luck again.
His first skirmish with the French
occurred a few miles to the west, and
its swift revenge overwhelmed him at
his Fort Necessity, mile to the east.
And here, too Is a path OF glory Tor
him, which led but to the grave for its
builder.
Down the weedy. slope of gully is
one of the few scattered scars remain
ing of the celebrated road to disaster
and death which Braddock hacked
through these mountains and across
five great ranges in 1755. His was a
weary and disguised little army when 1t
arrived at the Monongahela River on
hot July day, and within 10 miles of
Frances seemingly doomed Fort Du-
quesne.
1t was trudging through dense for
est today a wilderness of steel mills
and railroad tracks in the Braddock
suburb of Pittsburgh, when it was sud-
denly attacked by French and Indians.
Gen. Braddock Falls.
Braddock dashed about in a frantic
effort to curse, swordwhack and shoot
order out of chaos. I'VE can't fight
BusheS!" his men shrieked at him
above the war hoops Of the hidden foe.
In his desperation Braddock must have
envied the four horses shot from under
| him before he himself fell with NOR
tai wound.
Washington still was weak and sore
! from fever. Twice he was unhorsed,
and his clothing was pierced four times
by bullets. Two-thirds Of his fellow
| officers were killed or wounded, and the
| leaderleSs army fed.
Commands, entreaties and bribes
failed to halt any of the fleeing SOL
diers and persuade them TO carry their
commander with them, so Washington
| and a frontiersman pore Braddock
| away in a litter made of his flaming
silk sash He begged them to leave
him to die, and he even snatched at
the frontiersman's pistol that he might
| turn the weapon upon himself.
All through a black and rainy night,
while washington hurried back to the
base for wagons and supplies for the
! wounded soldiers, Braddock suffered the
agony of a jolting ride IN a SpringleSs
wagon. After four days OF pain and
shame death delivered him at last at
Great Meadows, where the National
| Highway now crosses the route of the
! old Braddock road, near Uniontown,
and so miles from the scene of the
slaughter 81,
In digging his road ne had dug his
own grave, in the middle of which he
was buried while WashinJon read the
PRAYER for the dead. Over the tell-tale
| mound wagons were driven to hide 1t
| from the Indians, who would have
prized Braddock's scalp above all the
grisly trophies their knives reaped on
| the banks of the Monongahela.
Grave Disappears.
When Washington returned here a
few wears afterward the wilderness had
| swallowed the grave Of its challenger
and he could find no trace of it. A
| half century passed and the spades OF
a road repairing crew uncovered some
bones and the buttons Of British
major general. That evidence received
strange confederation from surviving
witness of the burial an aged veteran
of the Pennsylvania militia. whose life
