: Program Details:
: In 1754, a young officer of the Virginia militia named George Washington led an attack on French forces camped just outside of present-day Uniontown. That attack ignited a world-wide war between France and England. Through it all, the Pennsylvania frontier remained a critical battleground, for whoever ended up in control of the Forks of the Ohio, modern-day Pittsburgh, would control the vast interior of North America. Dr. Alan Irvine, Instructor, Department of Sociology, University of Pittsburgh, discusses the history of this war in Pennsylvania, recreating the pivotal moments, and bringing the key players to life. This presentation is a program of the Pennsylvania Humanities Council, supported in part by a grant from Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania.
