August 24, 1758. A shiver runs through the weary traveler as he gazes across the Allegheny River at Fort Duquesne. Three summers ago, French soldiers and Indian warriors swarmed out from those very walls to destroy Braddock's glittering, confident army, and the tortured cries of captives echoed across the water from the very ground he stands on. And now, two armies are poised once again to struggle for possession of the Forks of Ohio.

But Christian Frederick Post, a Moravian missionary turned emissary, is a man of peace, and the message he carries is more powerful than the British artillery inching slowly westward toward this place. To the French officers pulling their boat ashore below, Post is the most dangerous man in American, threatening to break the tenuous alliance upon which their control of the Forks of Ohio depends.

Rossier's Art Gallery carries Native American artwork from such renowned artists as Robert Griffing and John Buxton.

Robert Griffing is a native Pennsylvanian artist. He paints the subject of his early fascination, the Eastern Woodland Indian. He describes himself as a painter of 18th century scenes that involve or feature the Eastern Woodland Indian. His paintings focus on a time that marked the beginning years of chaos and uncertainty for the Woodland tribes as they struggled to survive the encroachment of Europeans.


John Buxton was born in North Carolina and began his artistic life at an early age. He decided to leave his successful commercial illustration career of 31 years and devote his time to pursuing his life as a historical artist. John Buxton paints scenes from the 18th century, depicting the conflicts surrounding the French, the British, and the Native Americans.
