Status Updates From Fort Pitt: A Frontier Histo...

So the book mentioned a raid by natives against British traders near "Beaver Creek". I don't know if it's the very same one near which I live, but as they also mention Fort Sandusky, it could very well be. Also mentioned is Bushy Run. I pass by signs for it on my way back and forth between home and Ohio, and one of these days, I'm actually going to stop and check it out.

I knew about Fort Duquesne and Fort Pitt, obviously, but Mercer's Fort was new to me. Interesting to see how a temporary outpost helped permanently secure the Forks of the Ohio to the British and later American interest

An interesting book so far in its own right, for personal reasons, I can't help but be amused every time I see mention of Fort... Ligonier. (that's a Scholastic Scrimmage in-joke, you know)
