Washington's early soldiering took place largely in the Ohio Country, where Pittsburgh now stands. In 1754, as a young lieutenant colonel in the Virginia militia, he led a small force toward the Forks of the Ohio, where the French were building Fort Duquesne, and that July he surrendered his makeshift post, Fort Necessity. He later served as an aide to General Edward Braddock in 1755, when the British expedition against Fort Duquesne ended in defeat. Those campaigns, part of the French and Indian War, gave Washington his first real experience of command, and this picture, titled for his role as a soldier, frames that military career as the start of his public story.
