Gist in similar attire, their packs on
their shoulders and guns in their
hands. On January Z they reached
Wills Greek and nine days later, after
travelling more than 1000 miles, WASH
ington delivered to Governor Dinwid-
die the letter from the French COM
mander and his own report and map.
His skillful execution of this commits
sion proved to be the stepping-stone
to his career. For so pleased was his
Exellency with the recital Of the trip
that he requested a written detailed
account. This Washington made, apol-
ogizing for the style and diction of
the journal, which he explained was
prepared in one day.
In 1854 Washington, now a lieuten-
ant-colonel, had orders to defend
fort on the Ohio, and on April 2, with
less than $50 men, he began a mo-
mentous march. Learning at Colonel
Cresap's in Old Town that the fort
had been captured by the French, he
explored the Youghiogheny River val
ley in the unsuccessful search for
waterway opening to the lower fork of
the Ohio. On May 20 he attacked and
captured a party of French soldiers,
under Jumoville, in their attempt to
ambush the Virginia men. Jumonville
was killed and the French and Indian
War was started.
At Great Madows, after putting up
remarkable defense, Washington on
July 8, was compelled to surrender
his hastily constructed bulwark, called
Fort Necessity, circumstance which
became famous as the only time that
Washington ever surrendered.
It was in Frederick in 1855 that
Washington first met General Brad
dock, who had invited him to become
his aide-de-camp. The General had

| arrived from Alexandria by way of
Rock Creek and Dowden's Ordinary
(Clarksburg) and was awaiting impa.
tiently the arrival of wagons for the
transportation of supplies. Many
historians have asserted that Brad.
dock received Washington and Benja-
min Franklin in Frederick on April
"a, but Washington's own diary
shakes these supposedly authoritative
statements to the dust. According to
his own notations, Washington was at
Mount Vernon on April "a, in Win
chester on April 80, and it was not
until May 2 that he recorded his ex-
penses at Frederick. At this time
Franklin had finished his visit here
and had departed. To refute the tradi-
ton that Washington met Franklin in
Frederick is like bombing the Rock of
Gibraltar, but in the interest of accu-
racy it must be denied.
A description of Frederick town and
county at this time is obtained from
the Journal Of the Proceedings of the
Seamen under Commodore Keppel,
this being detachment from the
Fleet which supplemted Braddock's
force of regular infantry and colon
| ials.
On the 18th: Marched at 6 on our
way to Frederick's Town, Is miles
from Dowden's; the roads this day
were very mountainous. After going
IL miles we came to a river called
Mouskiso (Monocacy), which empties
itself into the Potomack; it runs very
rapid, and after hard rain, is Is feet
deep; we ferried the Army over here
in fatt for that purpose, and at 3
! o'clock arrived at the town, and put
our men and ourselves into quarters,
which were very Indifferent. This
town has not been settled above 7
years, and there are about 200 houses
and 2 churches, one English and one
Dutch; the inhabitants, chiefly Dutch,
are industrious but imposing people;
here we got plenty of provisions and
forage.
On the 21st: At noon the General
(Braddock) arrived here attended by
Captains Orme and Morris, his Aides
de camp, and Secretary Shirley, and
went to Head Quarters, a house pro-
vided for him, and Sir John St. Clair
arrived here.
1t is not known whether the house
mentioned was the old log tavern
known as Washington's Headquarters,
where the young Virginia is said to
have conferred with his commanding
officer, but this tradition persisted
down to the collapse of that old build
ing about forty years ago.
Scharf relates that Braddock, while
in Frederick, purchased of Governor
Sharpe an English chariot, and, ac-
companied by his staff and guard
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1932-02-04

of light horse, he left Frederick in the
chariot by the road now named the
jefferson pike, turning about a mile
from town at Prospect Hill, the colon
ial home Of Daniel Dulaney.
AS they passed by the mansion
Washington is understood to have ex-
pressed his admiration for the horses
on the estate. This pleased Daniel
.Dulaney, who in after years, accord
ing to tradition, gave Washington the
famous white charger that carried
him to victory through the battles of
the Revolution. General Washington
was greatly attached to his beautiful
steed and after the war he wrote to
the owner at Prospect Hill asking that
the faithful animal be permitted to
end his life grazing in the pastures of
his youth. The request was granted
and the white horse, made immortal
by Currier and Ives, sleeps in the
shadow of the Catoctin hills.
-. .t@ 80"
At Prospect Hall Braddock and his
staff branched off by Butterfly lane to
strike the trail that led past Braddock
Spring. Near this spring is a stone
with this inscription: "This boulder
marks the National Trail over which
travelled General Edward Braddock
and Lieutenant-Colon George Wash
ington, 1855. Erected by the Freder-
lex Chapter, Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution"
The road along the north side of the
Potomac not being yet made, the gen.
eral proceeded by way of Winchester
to Willis Creek, where he arrived amid
laundering salute of seventeen guns.
Here the chariot was Abandoned: it's
lurching over the narrow trail had
convinced even Braddock that this
was no way to go to war in America.

estate business of his own. At Bath
(now Berkeley Springs) James Rum
sey showed him the working model of
a boat that convinced Washington of
its possibilities. This is one of the re-
corded episodes cited to prove Rum
sey the pioneer in steamboat inven-
ton.
Leaving his companions at Cumber-
land and taking one servant with him,
the general rode again on the Brad
dock road. Near Allegany Grove he
dined on September 10 at Gwynne's
Tavern and lodged that night at Tom
linson's Tavern at Little Meadows.
Early the next morning he crossed the
Youghiogheny, which he decided could
be so improved as to permit naviga-
ton, and breakfasted at Mounts Tav-
ern in Oakton. His travels then took
him over the battle ground of Fort
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1932-02-04

they met band of Indians returning
from war with scalp. Washington
and his friends had some whiskey, "of
which we gave them Part, it elevating
their Spirits and put them in y. hui
mour of Dauncing." His description of
the dance in the freight was por-
trayed with vividness that a mod
ern writer might well envy.
AS result of this expedition, which
lasted five weeks, Washington was ap-
pointed surveyor of Culpeper county
at a salary of fifty pounds per year.
In 1853, when Governor Dinwiddie
needed an agent to cross the treach-
erous wilds near the frontier and de-
liver a letter to the French in the
northwestern part of Pennsylvania he
selected the 21-year-old major of the
Virginia militia, George Washington.
Accompanied by Jacob Van Braam as
his interpreter, the messenger arrived
on November ID at Wills Creek (now
Cumberland), where he stopped at
Black Horse Tavern. This old log
house, with it's bar at the left end, was
a rendezvous for the travellers of that
day. Later it became the home of
Martin Rizer, noted gunsmith,
whose patrons included Kit Carson, of
Rocky Mountain fame. The logs of
Black Horse Tavern we're in such fine
shape when the building was RACED
about eleven years ago that they were
used in the reconstruction of "Wash-
ington's Headquarters" in Cumber-
lands Riverside Park.
While here Washington engaged
Christopher Gist as guide and two
white men and two Indian traders to
go with him as servants. Striking
out across the swamps and through
miles of forest teeming with hostile
savages, they reached Fort LIE Boeuf
on December IL. The major delivered
the Governors letter demanding that
the French leave the ONO territory
and received an answer from the
French commandant, LIE Gardeur de
st. Pierre-announcing that he in
tended to stay.
The return trip was made doubly
hazardous by the continuous rain and
snow. Washington states in his diary
that "the Cold was so extremely Sc
we're that Mr.. Gist had all of his
Fingers and some of his Toes frozen"
As their horses became weak and fee

to contiue his journey through the

been found except two letters to Gov
ernor. Dinwiddie and a few items of
Washington's expense account. Still
standing, with its gray walls outlined
against the sky, is old Fort Frederick,
one of the sturdy Maryland ramparts
Of that defensive line.
AS both Fredericksburg and Mount
Vernon were so close to the Maryland
border, Washington necessarily made
many trips into the State. One Of the
frequently used crossings of the Po-
tomac lay far to the west of Paw Paw.
On September 4, 1869, we find he rode
to the fields near Hancock, where his
horses were in pasture, then proceed
ed to a Mr.. Flint's near by. In Ito
he journeyed clear to the Ohio and on
his way beck stopped at Killam's Tav-
ern, near Frostburg. The next day,
November ~, he called on his old
friend, Colonel Cresap, at Old Town.
With that his recorded visits to West
ern Maryland end until the Revolu-
ton is over.
It was not as a dashing young war
rior that Washington next returned to
Western Maryland, but man grown
stern and somber in the service of his
country. The terrific years of the
Revolution had left their mark, but
his figure was still magnifcently
erect and in his eyes benevolence re-
manned.
In 1884 General Washington became
interested in a project to make the
Potomac River navigable to the west.
On September l, accompanied by his
nephew Bushrod, who afterward be-
came a Justice of the United States
Supreme Court, and by DIR. James
Craik and the latter's son, he started
on trip to obtain information about
the river and to transact some real

FREDERICK.
While the country is observing
Washington's bicentennial, this west
ern section of Maryland glories in its
own intimate associations with four
phases of the first Presidents activi-
ties. Here it was that Washington, a
boy of sixteen, surveyed the rugged
lands of the Blue Ridge. Here he
Joined Braddock in his march against
Fort Duquesne. After the Revolu.
tionary War here he came as the
country's most famous private citizen,
promoting a navigation project of the
day. And here, with appropriate GER
emory, he was entertained as Presi-
dent of the United States.
Thrilled by the lure of adventure,
the boy Washington, with George Will
liam Fairfax, started out in 1748 to
survey the trackless wilderness beyond
the Blue Ridge. On March 10 they
arrived at Thomas Barwick's, near
Hancock, where they stayed for few
days, pasturing their horses close by
on the farm of Charles Polk. From
Barwick's they crossed the Potomac
in canoe and travelled over a road
declared by Washington to be the
worst ever trod by man or beast, I'M

Pennsylvania, and then down the
western edge of Maryland to the
house of Charles Friend, which stood
on what is now known as the Stephen
Browning farm, occupied at present
