"A fascinating portrayal of an historic period in the prenatal growth of our Republic; of the tragic drama of the passing of the Indian's way of life; of the formative phase of Washington's preparation for his future role as a Commander-in-Chief; and of the brutality, privation, hardship, peril and naked realism of frontier life in Western Pennsylvania in the mid-18th century." - Matthew B. Ridgway, General, U.S. Army (ret.)

This new edition of Drums in the Forest is a special reissue commemorating the 250th anniversary of the French and Indian War. It features a new foreword and a recently discovered document signed by the young George Washington.
