Generals Today Do Not Fight With Their Units.  Did Commander-in-Chief, George Washington?


The answer is now "No."  However, the first Commander-In-Chief did.  We sometimes
forget that our first President fought with his men, first with the English in the
French and Indian War and then in the  Revolution with his favorite aide,
Mr. Billy Lee,  and his famous war horse, Nelson.

He was creative and learned his fighting skills in the French and Indian War.
His main mentor was Half King Tanacharison, head of the Senecas and Iroquois
who spoke fluent French.  Half King hated the French because they kidnapped
him when he was a child.

Washington was also responsible for his men.  When he crossed the Potomac
and Delaware Rivers he was always last on his raft with Nelson, Mr. Billy Lee,
and his dalmatian, Madame Moose, who protected the horses from the wolves.
He wanted to make sure his men made a safe crossing.

Generals today have many ways to fight and protect their men but they don't
have to be in the battle.

Who Was Half King Who Helped Washington in the French and Indian War?

In writing her  book, Why Is a Spy Called a Mole, she discovered a Native American
who fought with the English and was a mentor to Major George Washington in the
French and Indian War which the English won with the help of Half King, Tanacharison.
For some reason, Native American leaders were called Half Kings and that is
what Tanacharison was called, Half King.

Washington surveyed the country from the Atlantic Ocean to the Ohio Territory when
he was only 15  years old--he knew the territory.  However Half King knew the area
even better and he spoke French.  They met up in the French and Indian War and
Half King who was head of the Seneca and Iroquois, here again he was obscured
in history.  Half King was captured as a boy by the French so he spoke fluent French,
but hated the French.  He was grateful to be fighting with the British and the young
Major Washington.  Washington learned  how to fight like an Indian and Half King
was his mentor and did reconnaissance for young Washington.

Some  historians think the French and Indian War was more important than the
Revolution.  It helped define the colonies and Washington was angry with the
British because he could not be appointed to a higher position than Commander-in
Chief of the Virgiania Colony that included West Virginia and part of Pennsyvania.
The British would not appoint Washington to a higher position in their forces;
therefore, alienating Washington.  This would be the British downfall.

Remember there was no West Point Academy, it was a Fort.  Commander Gist
and Half King Tanacharison were his mentors, and Washington learned his
military skills from both men, but Tanacharison was probably his most valuable
teacher and Washington was a brilliant student/leader.

Strieby blogged about the black man, now it is about the Native Indian, and
of course, Commander-in-Chief Washington.

Remember Tanacharison was head of all the Seneca Tribes, including the
Iroquois on the East Coast..  He spoke fluent French and knew the territory
better than Washington and Gist.

Again, three men who birthed our Nation.  Sadly two are overlooked by the
historians of the day and still are not taught this in schools.

A BLACK MAN AND A WHITE MAN BIRTHED THE USA, WHO WAS MR. BILLY LEE?

If you look up the black man who still after 250 years, the black man who saved George Washington's life more than once and had an Honorable Discharge from the Revolutionary

War.  Commander-ini-Chief Washington built him a house on his Estate,

and you still get remarks like this:

He was just a slave and not worth looking up, is total ignorance.

This black man saved this Country and 

historians of the day hid him from us.

Washington wouldn't go anywhere without him.

He was the best horseman in the Colonies.

Get this:  After the war, the Colonists visited Mount Vernon

to see him ride his horse, Chinkling.

Shame on the people who live in the original Colonies who are

ignorant of this man and say, "he was just a slave."
