Major George Washington's Journal to the River Ohio is a historical account written by George Washington himself. The book details his journey to the Ohio River Valley in 1753, where he was sent as an emissary of the British government to deliver a message to the French, who were encroaching on British territory.Washington's journal provides a vivid description of his travels, including encounters with Native American tribes, harsh weather conditions, and dangerous river crossings. He also describes the landscape and wildlife of the region, as well as the challenges he faced in navigating unfamiliar terrain.The book is an important historical document, as it provides insight into the early years of Washington's career and sheds light on the political and military tensions between the British and French in North America. It is also a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Ohio River Valley and the early days of American exploration.I gave them back a String of Wampum that I met with at Frazier's, which they had sent with a Speech to his Honour the Governour, to inform him, that three Nations of French Indians, viz. Chippeways, Ottoways, and Orundacks, had taken up the Hatchet against the English, and desired them to repeat it over again, which they postponed doing till they met in full Council with the Shannoahs and Delaware Chiefs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
