	The Winchester Star-Braddock’s Road: A Winding Path Into History . . . (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		It is a curiosity, the prevalance of the name Braddock in these parts — and one made all the more curious when you realize such notoriety is borne of a defeat numbingly disastrous.
		Most of these virtues were exhibited along a road — a large portion of which was hacked out of primeval forest by the army itself — stretching 275 miles from Alexandria to the Forks of the Ohio, site of present-day Pittsburgh.
		Whether it pre-dates the Braddock expedition is a matter of conjecture; what is known is that Braddock’s men camped there on the way to Fort Duquesne — and that stragglers from this army took relief from the same spring on the retreat back to Virginia a few months hence.

		On September 24, 1754, Major-General Edward Braddock was appointed by the Duke of Cumberland, captain-general of the British Army, to the command of the British troops to be sent to Virginia, with the rank of generalissimo of all of his Britannic Majesty's forces on the American continent.
		Before his expedition could start, however, many weeks had to be spent in extensive preparations, a delay which became so irksome to Braddock that he determined to wait no longer on the tardy movement of the transports.
