George Washington  

Did You Know?
Before the battle at Fort Necessity, George Washington wrote that the meadow would be “a charming field for an Encounter”. After the skirmish at Jumonville Glen he wrote there was “something charming in sound” of bullets. After his defeat at Fort Necessity he never again refers to war as charming.
