Message: [QUOTE="BroadwayVa, post: 2251928, member: 6118"] One of the great side benefits of Living in Virginia---too much Civil war/ War between the states--and no enough REAL history 20 miles away are old Colonial forts to fight the French/Indians--upon the the WVa ridges are old forts (tiny tiny) that G Washington asked be built-a massacre wiped both out ---up above Luray is a valley that had a restricted input and G Washington put another fort there---it was never needed. George W (Washington that is) roamed far and wide --before and after the Revolution--he went to (now) Pittsburgh and attacked the French fort there (the french owned from Hutson bay to Georgia ) west of Pittsburgh--and was sent packing--he wiped out an Iroquois town in retaliation for their raid. Yes I like North American History--- . [/QUOTE]
