' His first commission was that of a major, but a major's rank didn't carry the weight it does now? His first assignment by Governor Dinwiddie was to go from Virginia into the Ohio valley to warn the French against encroaching on British land. The journey took neaily three months. On the way home, an Indian shot at Washington point-blank at 15 paces, but missed. Later the young soldier was dumped into the ice-filled Allegheny, saved himself only ty clutching at one of the logs of his Shortages in European Larders raft. Governor Dinwiddie made him a lieutenant-colonel, lieutenant-colonel, sent him into Pennsylvania as one of the leaders of a small command. Washington successfully success-fully attacked the French at Fort Duquesne, but was forced to surrender when the entire French force stormed rnis little fortress. Later he returned to arms under General Braddock and was by his side when the Virginians were ambushed and bloodily defeated. In that battle two horses were shot from under young George Washington, and his clothes were cut by four bullets, but he was not injured. Washington once wrote his brother: "I have heard the bullets whistle; and believe me, there is something charming in the sound." - c'TA'"TcT joj SQ Sf Q .
