Why, I thought he was born in Virginia, lived most of his life there and died there. And Virginia certainly Is an Eastern state. You're quite right, for he was and it is! But the point Is and Its ohe which few Americans, perhaps, realize that some of the most S nnrrtant events in Washington's career took In the West, that he was one of the most Sj tey0ttern-piinde- d men of his day and that he rce pmtJied his Interest In the West to the end of Colonial L s in Lexington's When he t he moTK .

CHAHH what is now Fayette county, Pennsylvania, the two tiny forces met; the volleys they exchanged opened the war that was to be wraged until 1763, on the battle fields of Europe, the plains of India, and around the Islands of the sea, as well as in the woods of the New World. Thus George Washington's first fight on the frontier made him an International figure. For Jumonville was killed In the encounter (assassinated," the French declared), and after that the great conflict was Inevitable. Washington fell back to the Great Meadows where he built a crude breastwork which he named Fort Necessity. There he was attacked by Coulon de Jumonvllles brother, and all day long his soaked to the skin troops weary, by the constant rain, and depleted by the musketry fire from the heights which commanded That night them, fought off their assailants. Washington was forced to capitulate. A year later Washington again rode West, this time as an aide to Gen. Edward Braddocks fine British army which was certain to capture Fort Duquesne from the French. Then came the fatal July 9 on the Monongahela and a few days later Washington was writing to his brother, By the all powerful dispensations Augustine: of Providence, I have been protected beyond human probability and expectation; for I had four bullets through my coat, and two horses shot under me, yet escaped unhurt, although death was leveling my companions on every side of me."

On May 28, 1754, in afford fur a land speculator. Vir-sen- - & e ' , In 1754, when Governor Dinwiddle Issued a proclamation giving 200,000 acres of western land to men who had served in the war, Wash-gtoas a major, received 15,000 acres on the Ohio although he did not succeed In having It surveyed and patented until seven years later. By the Royal Proclamation of 1703, at the. close of the French and Indian war, he received 5,000 acres more In his own right and from other officers and men who held their claims lightly he purchased 2,500 acres more. In 1770, acting as agent and attorney to locate the western lands granted to officers of the First Virginia regiment by Governor Dinwiddle, Washington, himself. Journeyed to Fort Pitt (the former Fort Duquesne). There he held conferences with George Croghan, Indian agent, and with the chiefs of the Six Nations and then, ac, companied by Doctor Craik, his physician-friendand three servants, started down the Ohio by boat This expedition, which took him down to the mouth of the Kanawha river and up that stream for a considerable distance, was for pleasure as well as business and his diary Is full of references to the hunting which he enjoyed In that region. In addition to looking after the land interests of his brother officers he was also Inspecting the lands which William Crawford had marked out for him, for Lund Washington and for his own brothers, Samuel and John Crawford. Washington was especially concerned with establishing his title to these lands. One of the results of this Journey is seen In an advertisement, signed by Washington, which appeared in the Maryland Journal and Baltimore Advertiser for August 22, 1773, and which offered for sale 20,000 acres of land on the Great Kanawha and the Ohio rivers. In this advertisement Washington states that if the scheme for establishing a new government on the Ohio, In the manner talked of should ever be effected, these must be among the most valuable lands." Eventually a new government was established there but not the one, perhaps, which Washington had In mind. Soon after the struggle for liberty began, Washingtons mind was occupied with a greater problem than that of his western lands and It kept his mind occupied for the next seven or eight years. At the close of the Revolution Wasliington owned land in what is now New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky, even as far west as Louisville. Besides owning all this land, Wasliington was also Interested in developing routes of communication and travel between the East and the West because he knew that the West could not be developed rapidly without them. In 1784 he set out on another Journey to the West to obtain information of the nearest and best communication between the Eastern and Western waters." This information he secured by traveling on horseback across ten mountain ranges and covering a distance of 6S4 miles in I am well 34 days. Upon his return he wrote: pleased with my Journey, as it has been the means of my obtaining a knowledge of facts coming at the temper and disposition of the Western Inhabitants, and making reflections thereon which otherwise must have been as wild, incoherent, or perhaps as foreign from the truth as the inconsistency of the reports which I had received even from those to whom most credit seemed due, generally were. One result of his Journey was the founding of the Potomac, company, incorporated In 1785 by the legislatures of both Maryland and Virginia for constructing a canal to connect the James and Potomac rivers witn the Ohio. A part of the canal was dug but it was never carried to completion. Washington was given 50 shares in the Potomac company and he left these in his will to the founding of a university to be established in the District of Columbia. When Washington died he owned more than 50,000 acres of land, valued at nearly half a million dollars. The greater part of this was in the West, or, at least, what was regarded as the West" at that time. They Included 27,480 acres In Virginia, 23.341 on the Great Kanawha river, 9,744 on the Ohio river, 5,000 on Rough creek in Kentucky, 3.051 on the Little Miami river In Ohio, 1,119 in Maryland, 1,0K) on ttie Mohawk river In New York, and last, but not least, Not least, because these 234 in Pennsylvania. 234 acres included the Great Meadows, where a young frontier fighter had built Fort Necessity and embarked upon the military career (even though it was with a defeat) that made the name of George Washington forever famous!
