First Battle_ 134

IN WHICH THE YOUNG READER, AFTER GETTING A HINT OF THE
TREMENDOUS CONSEQUENCES THAT ENSUED FROM THE FRENCH GENERAL'S
LETTER, WILL FIND SO MUCH TO ENTERTAIN HIM, THAT HE WILL READILY
EXCUSE UNCLE JUVINELL FROM GIVING THE REMAINING HEADS OF THIS
CHAPTER; FURTHER THAN TO SAY, THAT IT WINDS UP WITH QUITE A
LIVELY AND SPIRITED ACCOUNT OF WASHINGTON'S FIRST BATTLE.

XIII.

_Fort Necessity_ 146

WHAT BEFELL COLONEL WASHINGTON IN AND AROUND FORT NECESSITY, AND
HOW HE SUSTAINED HIS FIRST SIEGE; WHICH WILL BE FOUND EVEN MORE
ENTERTAINING THAN THE ACCOUNT OF HIS FIRST BATTLE, NARRATED IN
THE LAST CHAPTER.

XIV.

_General Braddock_ 158

IN WHICH THE YOUNG READER AND COLONEL WASHINGTON FORM THE
ACQUAINTANCE OF GENERAL BRADDOCK, AND COME TO THE SAME CONCLUSIONS
REGARDING HIS CHARACTER; AND IN WHICH THE READER IS HONORED WITH A
SLIGHT INTRODUCTION TO THE GREAT DR. FRANKLIN, WHO GIVES SOME GOOD
ADVICE, WHICH BRADDOCK, TO HIS FINAL COST, FAILS TO FOLLOW; AND IS
ENTERTAINED WITH A FEW GLIMPSES OF LIFE IN CAMP.

XV.

_Rough Work_ 172

THE READER WILL SEE HOW GENERAL BRADDOCK AT LAST SET OUT ON HIS
MARCH TO FORT DUQUESNE.--HOW HE GOT ENTANGLED IN THE WILDERNESS,
AND WAS FORCED TO CALL UPON THE YOUNG PROVINCIAL COLONEL FOR
ADVICE. WHICH, THOUGH WISELY GIVEN, WAS NOT WISELY FOLLOWED.--HOW
CAPTAIN JACK MADE AN OFFER, FOR WHICH HE GOT BUT SORRY THANKS; AND
WILL FIND A SPRINKLING OF WAYSIDE ITEMS HERE AND THERE; WHICH
SAVES THIS CHAPTER FROM BEING CONSIDERED A DULL ONE.

XVI.

_Braddock's Defeat_ 186

IN WHICH IS RECORDED THE BLOODIEST PAGE IN THE ANNALS OF AMERICA;
OR, TO EXPRESS IT OTHERWISE, AN ACCOUNT OF THE FAMOUS BATTLE OF
THE MONONGAHELA, COMMONLY CALLED BRADDOCK'S DEFEAT; WHICH, IT WILL
BE SEEN AT A GLANCE, MIGHT HAVE TURNED OUT A VICTORY AS WELL, HAD
WASHINGTON'S ADVICE BEEN FOLLOWED.

XVII.

_Explanations_ 200

WHEREIN UNCLE JUVINELL AND THE LITTLE FOLKS DISCOURSE TOGETHER, IN
A LIVELY AND ENTERTAINING STYLE, OF DIVERS MATTERS TO BE FOUND,
AND NOT TO BE FOUND, IN BOOK THURSDAY; WHICH MAY SEEM OF LITTLE
CONSEQUENCE TO THOSE ELDERLY
