Book Description

This volumed compilation of the writings of George Washington brings together important speeches, letters, and other official correspondence from the professional life of the Commander-in-Chief. Special attention is paid to documents relating to his military business and political career, but also with personal correspondence to add a more holistic examination into Washington. The editor provides his own summary of Washington's life in the first volume, before the autobiographical documents begin.
