Historic Braddock Stone

Lies on the Outskirts of Washington at a Place Called St.Albans.

The accompanying illustration shows the historic stone, generally known as “Braddock Rock.” It stands on the outskirts of Washington, D. C., at a place called Mount St. Albans, and marks the route over which General Braddock marched on his ill fated expedition against the French and Indians at Fort Duquesne, now the city of Pittsburg, Pa. He reached the point marked by the rock, April 14, 1775, and his army slowly and toilsomely made its way through the wilderness until it reached Great Meadows, Pa., where, on the

Braddock Rock.

6th of July, 1755, it was utterly and overwhelmingly defeated by the French and Indians. Braddock himself was fatally wounded in this battle and died July 13, 1755.
