Frontier in Flames: The French and Indian War in Western Pennsylvania

By George Kotlik

The year is 1755. France and Britain wage a brutal war in the North American wilderness. The Crown dispatches General Braddock, commander of all British military forces in the North American colonies, to put an end to the French threat. As Braddock blunders through the wilderness, his army faces a tragic defeat at the hands of the French and their Native allies. Braddock is killed and his force makes a hasty retreat leaving the Pennsylvania backcountry completely exposed to French and Indian raids. Later that year, the frontier collapses. Without assistance from the Pennsylvania Government, a body too weak to defend its own citizens, it is up to the average backwoodsmen to defend their own homes from the French raiders. This story follows a man by the name of Henry Lawrence, who fights against all odds to keep his family together as the world shatters around them.24,000 words.
