Listen "George Washington's First Mistake"
Episode Synopsis
Have you ever messed up so bad that you accidentally triggered a war and then had it vaguely referenced some 260-ish years later in a hit Broadway musical? No? Well, you're about to learn about someone who has. No other than, George Washington. This week, we’re finding out what might have happened at Jumonville's Glen. Next episode we'll find out what happened at Fort Necessity and how that may have triggered the Seven Years War in the mid-1750’s.
