Reflections on the French & Indian War is the subtitle. Late in 1787, George Washington wrote a rare autobiographical account of his service in the French and Indian War. He related his experiences in a compelling eleven-page narrative that includes a vivid account of Braddock's defeat in 1755 and a description of a friendly-fire incident in 1758 that "involved the life of GW in as much jeopardy as it had ever been before or since."
