Contrecoeur's Copy of George Washington's Journal of 1754 (1989)


Contrecoeur's Copy of George Washington's Journal of 1754

edited by Donald H. Kent

Eastern National Park & Monument Association

(c)1989

When forced to surrender to the French in 1754 at Fort Necessity, this journal was left behind during the chaos of that moment. It is an extract with footnotes of Major Washington's journal which had made its way to Canada. I was not aware of this journal nor its significance prior to me finding this booklet. 

36 pages, staple bound.
