The earliest authenticated portrait of George Wash...Lawrence had held the adjutant (major) in the colonial military. George Washington seemed to have the confidents inside himself that he could make a good adjutant (major) at the age of only twenty (20). Even though he had no military experience. In November 1752 he was named adjutant (major) of the southern district of Virginia by Governor Robert Dinwiddie.
The Virginia government was alarmed by reports that a French mission from Canada was establishing posts on the headwaters of the Ohio River and trying to make treaties with Native American's. So Governor Robert Dinwiddie wrote a letter to the French commander. George Washington was looked to carry this letter to the French and come back with a message from the French commander. The reply was polite and not what the Virginia governor wanted to hear. This was a dangerous journey for the adjutant (major).
