After a deadly clash at Jumonville Glen, Washington hastily built a fort, only to be surrounded by French forces. Forced to admit fault and sign a humiliating treaty, his troops withdrew as the French burned the fort — a turning point now spotlighted in the new film “Young Washington.” The episode also traces Washington’s return to the region under General Braddock, where he helped evacuate survivors after Braddock’s fatal wounding — and even recounts how Braddock’s body was buried in the road before being honored with a monument. With vivid storytelling and insights from the National Park Service’s immersive historical sites, this episode brings to life the raw, formative battles that shaped America’s first leader.
