Pictured within the circular palisade fort, a recreation of the original, at the Fort Necessity National Battlefield near Farmington, Pennsylvania. It was here that young Washington suffered his first defeat at the hands of French and Indian forces that came to push his small Virginian army back east of the Alleghenies, and to punish him for the skirmish of French Colonel Jumonville at a glen a few miles northwest of Fort Necessity. That skirmish resulted in a World War, begun in the backwoods of Fayette County. Washington, realizing the importance of this place in his life (and even to our country's existence), later purchased the land on which the battle took place. This is one of several tracts of land he would own in Fayette County.
