From Great Meadows to Valley Forge: George Washington in Pennsylvania
George Washington has been called America’s "indispensable man," yet few people appreciate how important Pennsylvania was in shaping his character. In this slide presentation, David Dixon traces Washington’s life from the early days of the French and Indian War through the terrible winter at Valley Forge. As Dixon reveals, these years in Pennsylvania were crucial in forging Washington’s identity as America’s foremost military and civil leader.

Screen required.
