George Warrington's Escape

George Warrington's Escape

🎞️ Movie --
1911

This story is based upon the thrilling escape of George Warrington from the hands of a brutal old French sergeant at Fort Duquesne, now the city of Pittsburgh, after the defeat of General Braddock and the almost total annihilation of his troops by the French and Indians, as it is told by George to his twin brother Harry in Thackeray's novel, "The Virginians." The brothers had been visiting at Quebec, where George had fought a duel with an impetuous young Frenchman, and had for his second the Compte de Florac. A friendship was established between the young men, and was only interrupted by news of war between the two countries. Later, George was appointed on the staff of General Braddock with his friend, Col. George Warrington, and was wounded at the disastrous ambush in which Braddock and nearly all his force were killed. He was on the point of being scalped when he was saved by Florac, and sent to Fort Duquesne, where he was at the mercy of a drunken old scoundrel of a sergeant, from whom he finally escaped through the kindness of an Indian squaw, the toy of Sgt. Museau, whom he had befriended and shielded from the latter's violence.
