Might I ask how you knew that?

I visited 2 winters ago...right after a snow fall. Got to "sneak" into Jumonville Glen and walk aroufn by myself.

Its right in the heart of John Murtha's 12th COngressional district.

looong search .... Then a list of congress members from Pennsylvania (which went back to ~1840-s)and thanks to WAB, the name Murtha had familiar sound :)
So thanks to WAB and day off ....

Have to admit that most of my previous ´knowledge´ about the era came from J.Fenimore Cooper books :)
