Today, Andy Serkis plays General Braddock on the big screen.
For most viewers, Young Washington is a story about a young commander learning under fire. Watch for the man Serkis is playing.
Braddock spent his final days on the road I grew up walking. He died eight miles from Pittsburgh on July 13, 1755, and was buried under his own road so the French and Indians wouldn’t find his body.
That defeat set something in motion that no one saw coming for 270 years.
When The Search for Braddock’s Lost Gold ended, Jack Sullivan thought the hunt was over. He didn’t know anyone was watching. He didn’t know what they needed him for.
This is where their next story unfolds.
