The Wilderness; or, Braddock's Times: A Tale of the West is a historical novel by the Irish-American writer James McHenry (1784-1845), set in 1750s Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: the first American novel to be set entirely in this locale. The novel tells the story of an Irish family from Ulster on the frontier of the American West at colonial Pittsburgh. In a subplot, George Washington, who is passing through on his historical mission, falls in love with a pioneer maiden named Maria, who refuses him, and therefore he dedicates himself thereafter to the service of his country.
