we do not know for sure where braddock's grave is but here is norman baker at his grave. here is the burial record of the french commander. his name means beautiful day. he had a beautiful day except he got killed. in any case, it says in this burial record that he had taken confession before the battle and it says -- i love this -- it said he is buried in the cemetery of the assumption of the holy virgin of the ohio river. a beautiful kind of poetic name. no one knows where the cemetery was. when fort duquesne was destroyed in 1758, apparently the cemetery was also destroyed. they kept the burial records from the cemetery but we do not know where braddock's body is or where beaujour's body is although i would think excavations in pittsburgh would be able to show us that. this was a disaster. an embarrassing disaster for the british army. one of the most embarrassing things in the history of british military annals. it is interesting to read washington, he retreats to cumberland and writes to his mother. he says mother, it was not so bad. do not believe everything you hea

braddock would be killed, washington would lead survivors back to safety and braddock's successor jeffrey amherst would not honor the commitment to give washington an officer's commission. because of that, young george felt that he and other colonials would always remain in a subservient position. as long as they were british subjects. he would finally get the commission he sought, but it would not be until 1775, and it would not be a british army commission. it would be commander of continental forces in this revolutionary protest. as he takes command of the continental army, young george told the politicians he would not accept pay for his service, however he did expect that his expenses would be reimbursed. and in fact, through the course of the war, year after year, george will be reappointed as the commander. even though people like horatio gates and charles lee were angling to have him replaced, washington stays in command. he doesn't take the pay, but he does accept expenses for his travel. and in fact every winter, martha would come stay with him. at one point washington even aske
