They claimed by the right of French discovery and settlement ; while the English claimed by the right of the discovery by the Cabots. Up to 1752, the English had made no settlements west of the Alleghanies, but in that year the Ohio Company, under a grant from the King, established a trading-post on the Monongahela. The French at once made prisoners of the traders, and began building their own forts on the disputed territory. Washington, though only twenty-one years old, but even then spoken of... as a person of distinction, was sent by direction of the British government to demand an explanation of the outrages. The answer to the demand was a letter from the French commandant, refusing to withdraw the French from their position. And as this reply was unsatisfactory, in 1754 a regiment was sent to the disputed territory, under Colonel Frye, with Washington as second in command. While these troops were on their way, the French had driven off the English and completed their fort, which they named Du Quesne.
