Title: The journal of Major George Washington
Description: "At the age of twenty-one George Washington wrote a testimonial to his maturity and capacity for leadership ... it continues to be read for its description of the blunt realities of frontier diplomacy in colonial America, and as a record of the first critical test of Washington's qualifications for public service."--cf. introduction. The fighting of the French and Indian War began in May 1754, shortly after Washington's mission.
