Braddock Tars: Common Sailors and the Braddock Expedition

A little known party of thirty-three Royal Navy sailors marched with Braddock’s army in the 1755 expedition to attack Fort Duquesne that ended as a disastrous failure on the banks of the Monongahela. In Braddock’s Tars: Common Sailors and the Braddock Expedition, Kyle Dalton will use their story as a lens to look at the larger picture of common sailors in the British Atlantic World and tell us what we can learn from ordinary people in extraordinary situations.
