: Dear all,
: For those of you who have not seen this video, you should.  It's wonderfully done.  Most of it was filmed two years ago in June, at the Jumonville F&I tactical, still the best tactical I've ever been in.  And yes, I'm seen in the movie, along with Major Mike -- very briefly.  I'll never forget the misty mornings which you will see in the movie.  It's a very interesting movie and I would recommend it to all.

: : The REVIEW:

: : 'When the Forest Ran Red' chronicles the quest of the British, French, and Native American Empires to possess the American wilderness 20 years prior to the Revolutionary War. Conflict ignites as 22-year-old George Washington steps onto the world stage as the murderer of a French emissary. In the subsequent battle of Fort Necessity, the emissary?s brother leads a French army that defeats Washington. These events lead to the 1755 campaign of British General Edward Braddock and George Washington against the French in the heart of the wilderness. The French and their Native American allies watch Braddock?s powerful army move ever closer. With the British a day away, a charismatic French officer leads his French/Indian guerrilla force in a desperate attack on Braddock?s column. The resulting battle will change the course of American history.
