A West Virginia state highway historical marker illustrating a brief history of Fort Edwards near present-day Capon Bridge in Hampshire County, West Virginia. The marker reads: "Troops from this fort under Captain Mercer were ambushed in 1756 and many were killed. The French and Indians later attacked the fort but the garrison, aided by Daniel Morgan and other frontiersmen, repulsed the assault." The highway historical marker is located along the Northwestern Pike (U.S. Route 50) in Capon Bridge, West Virginia. Photographed by Justin A. Wilcox of Washington, D.C. on October 5, 2014.
