"Braddock's Road and Three Relative Papers" by Archer Butler Hulbert is a historical account likely written in the early 20th century. The work focuses on Braddock's expedition and the construction of Braddock's Road, which played a pivotal role during the era of British colonial expansion in North America. It delves into military history, strategy, and the challenges faced by troops as they navigated the difficult terrain of the Alleghenies. The opening of the book sets the stage by outlining the historical context of the French and English rivalry in North America, emphasizing the geographical obstacles that impacted military campaigns. It highlights the significance of Braddock's Road, constructed in 1755, as both a logistical feat and a turning point in British military tactics. The author discusses how early blunders and challenges shaped the course of the French and Indian War, showcasing key figures such as General Edward Braddock and the complexities of the colonial military landscape just prior to his ill-fated expedition to Fort Duquesne.
