Nothing but luck, kept Washington alive to become the first.

On what is now the First National Highway, Braddock lost and estimated 1500 in a two day fight with the Indians. They were strung out for miles and the Indians hit them in the middle. Washington was at the rear due to illness and missed the worst of it.
