THIS story is based upon the thrilling escape of George Warrington from the
hands of a brutal old French Sergeant at Fort DuQuesne, now the city of
Pittsburg, after the defeat of General Braddock and the almost total annihilation of his troops by the French and Indians, as it is told by George to his
twin brother Harry in Thackeray's novel "The Virginians." The br others had
been visiting at Quebec where George had fought a duel with an impetuous young
Frenchman, and had for his second the Compte de Florae. A friendship was established
between the young men, and was only interrupted by news of war between the two
countries. Later, George was appointed on the staff of General Braddock with his friend
Colonel George Washington, and was wounded at the disastrous ambush in which
Braddock and nearly all his force were killed. He was on the
point of being scalped when he was saved by Florae and sent
to Fort DuQuesne, where he was at the mercy of a drunken
old scoundrel of a Sergeant, from whom he finally escaped
through the kindness of an Indian squaw, the toy of Sergeant
Museau, whom he had befriended and shielded from the
latter's violence.
