Edgar, if you can find it, get a copy of David Preston's 2015 masterpiece, "Braddock's Defeat: The Battle of The Monongahela and the road to Revolution." The single most impressive work I've seen yet on the struggle for the settlement of America. The details of his new reference discoveries are incredible; heretofore unexplored records in the US, Great Britain, France and Canada shed new light on how our country came to be and the amazing financial and logistical expense those countries were willing to expend to control it.
