Duel In the Wilderness,
By A Customer
This review is from: Duel in the Wilderness (Paperback)
A very well written book!! If you love history or even if you don't, read this book! It tells about young George Washington and his first assignment for this country which was still under Englands watchful eye. It tells of the amazing hardship and luck that George experienced at the age of 21,in the Ohio wilderness. This would make a great film!!! Lots of action and true life experience. Just READ this and you will be hooked on history forever.

not great kids book,
This review is from: Duel in the Wilderness (Paperback)
My boys (ages 10, 9, 7, 5) and I found this book to be dull. We love history, but this one was lacking. It also had several instances of profanity which was surprising to me for a book that I thought was aimed at kids.

readable, fast-moving,
By
This review is from: Duel in the Wilderness (Paperback)
The book is readable, fast-moving, interesting, and tells a part of George Washington's life not normally told. It is historically pertinent because it relates the French-Indian wars to the American Revolution. It is interesting history while being also social commentary.
