21 April 1754

GW’s diary entry from 20 April placed him at Col. Thomas Cresap’s establishment near the Potomac River, where he saw evidence of the British surrender of the fort on the Forks of the Ohio.  On 21 April, he presumably was en route to Wills Creek, Pa./Md. where a Council of War was held on 23 April.
