In January 1754, George Washington was a twenty-one-year-old major serving in the Virginia militia, just returning to Williamsburg from a 900-mile mission into the Ohio country. Washington wrote a report of his two-and-a-half month trans-Allegheny journey titled The Journal of Major George Washington. The narrative covered October 31, 1753 until January 16, 1754. Upon his arrival, Washington delivered the French Commandant's letter of refusal to abandon the Ohio territory. Dinwiddie immediately rushed Washington's report into print in order to awaken colonial and British officials to the urgent need to defend the western frontier from French encroachment. Late in 1753 Robert Dinwiddle, His Majesty's Lieutenant-Governor of Virginia, appointed the young George Washington to a delicate assignment on the northwestern frontier of the colony. His mission was double-barreled: to deliver Dinwiddie's message to the French commander-a curt letter telling him to get out of British Territory-and to bargain for the support of the Indian leaders. The pamphlet is one of the rarest publications in American History. Only eight copies of the original edition printed on the press of William Hunter in Williamsburg still exist of this stirring journal kept by young Major George Washington on his mission in 1753-1754 to warn the French against encroaching on British territory. The full report included Washington's journal and an English translation of the French officer's refusal. From one of these copies owned by Colonial Williamsburg, this facsimile hardcover edition has been printed. The Journal of Major George Washington provides a firsthand glimpse of frontier diplomacy, the beginnings of the French and Indian War. It also provides early insights into Washington's views on military matters, diplomacy, and leadership. The first British edition of the journal was printed by Thomas Jefferys, an engraver from England's Board of Trade, and appeared in June 1754 with a map that was not included in the Williamsburg printing. The 1754 journal not only appeared in monograph form, but it was published in several newspapers. The journey and publication of his work provided an opportunity to share his surveying skills to sketch a map of the Ohio territory. Washington had expressed interest in the region, where he would become a major landowner. With his first publication, Washington became known both through the colonies and in prominent circles in England. A young George Washington volunteered to be Dinwiddie's emissary and assembled a group of explorers and interpreters including Christopher Gist, an experienced frontiersman who would be both his teacher and guide. The group constantly battled excessive rains and vast quantities of snow. The trip was an important lesson for Washington in the complexities of political allegiances. Washington visited Native American nations such as Shawnee and Seneca towns to create British alliances. They also visited various French fortifications in the wilderness, and learned of the construction of French fortifications throughout the region. Facsimile Edition [Stated]. Thirteenth Printing [stated].
