Here Washington stands in General Edward Braddock's tent, pressing the British commander to guard against ambush on the march toward Fort Duquesne in 1755. Braddock's column was cut down in the woods near the Monongahela River, a defeat that left the young Virginia officer with a lasting reputation. The tent scene rests largely on later storytelling, especially Parson Weems's popular biography, so the woodcut shows how the legend was retold rather than a documented exchange. The caption card gives no date for it.
