Two girls in Baden, Pennsylvania, notice a historical marker that tells them they are standing on ground that used to be an Indian village. Curious, they begin an odyssey to discover more. Learning from artwork created by others who have imagined these same stories, the girls travel through time to visit Logstown, one of the biggest Indian villages on the Ohio River. They are there for Washington’s historic visit to this Indian village, and then join Washington for his mission to deliver a message to a French Fort. The girls can envision these historic hardships as they read about Washington battling deep snow, forging icy rivers, and meeting with a French commandant in a wilderness fort. Come along to find out more, and see if you can find the hidden surprise they have created for you on each page!
