“My God, Thompson, I have discovered an empire!”
From his perch at the peak of McBride’s Gap on Mount Nittany, Captain James Potter marveled at the pristine valley that stretched before his company. The company had been traveling for days searching for suitable locations for a British fort. As their leader, Potter seemed never to be satisfied … until now.
Our story of Captain Potter’s famed expedition begins years earlier in 1756. The British Colony of Pennsylvania was center stage in a massive conflict, the French and Indian War. Having been sparked by events near Pittsburgh, the war brought much conflict to Pennsylvania. The Appalachian Mountains, the frontier of our vast country in the mid-1700s, were embroiled in a complex web of alliances between Native American tribes and European nations, leading to horrific tales of violence in the backcountry.
