A colonial hero travels through Bradford County on his way to strengthen the British position against the French. A dangerous journey that sets the stage for Sullivan's March, building forts in the Ohio Valley, the Louisiana Purchase and ultimately blocks a French claim on Towanda.
This program will be presented by Bill Brasington of the Troy Historical Society.
