Somewhere between chopping down the cherry tree and crossing the Delaware River, George Washington had the epiphany that turned him into one of the world's greatest tacticians and leaders. This book argues that epiphany occurred at Great Meadows, the battle that essentially started the French and Indian Wars. It was on that remote western Pennsylvania battlefield that the inexperienced 22-year-old lieutenant colonel from Virginia met a highly skilled French army and suffered a terrible defeat. When it was over, a third of his men lay fallen. Washington used that experience of defeat to achieve eventual greatness. In addition to this narrative, the author examines the significance of Washington's actual dispatches, along with recent archaeological findings from Great Meadows
