The record — long form
Braddock's Grave is the road's — the '55 burial in the middle of the track, the army that marched over it. The Monongahela was the defeat — the July 9 ambush that destroyed the expedition, the 500 who died. The Washington was the aide — the young officer who carried the dying general, the '04 reburial that he ordered.
The hiding was the fear — the French and Indians who might desecrate, the wagons that obliterated the trace. The monument is the '13 — the marker that's not the original, the knoll where he lies now. Braddock's Grave is the empire's — the largest army that failed, the road that's the grave.
