Synopsis
Excerpt from Historical Papers of the Society of Colonial Wars in the District of Columbia, No; 4, 1908: Historical Address at Dedication of the Braddock Boulder, Sunday, November 10, 1907
In this act it follows the splendid example of the General Society Of Colonial Wars, which, on June 17, 1895, erected at Louisbourg, on Cape Breton Island, a noble shaft in com memoration of the capture of Louisbourg in 1745 by the Colonial forces under lieut.-gen. William Pepperell. Of this event it is said: The New England forces, raw troops, commanded by untrained Officers, astonished the world by capturing the supposed impregnable fortress. Again, in September, 1903, our General Society erected at Lake George a monument in commemoration of the great victory of the Colonial soldiers under Col. William J Ohnso-n over the allied forces of French and Indians commanded by Baron de Dies kau. And from time to time the various State societies of our organization have raised memorials in honor of the heroic deeds performed by our ancestors of English blood who fought on this continent with the same magnificent valor that has ever been characteristic of the anglo-saxon race.
Over yonder highway, known in history as Braddock's road, a little more than 150 years ago, following the flag Of our mother country, a brave band of soldiers, in order to better protect the homes of our ancestors, passed in front of this spot on their way to cruel disaster.
