assurance of the public, the indignation of Braddock towards what he

"Braddock's remains are said to have been discovered about 1823 by a
workman engaged in constructing the National Road, at a spot pointed
out by an old man named Fossit, Fausett, or Faucit, who had been in
the provincial ranks in 1755. He claims to have seen Braddock
buried, and to have fired the bullet which killed him. The story is

testimony." Winsor's Narrative and critical history of America.
