This book assembles an array of rare 18th and 19th-century documents, mostly from private collections, spanning two centuries of American history. The documents are autographs of politicians, military leaders, scientists, artists, inventors, and other prominent figures of their time. Included are letters penned by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin, and numerous other historical figures. Many are wartime communications between key figures such as George Washington and Benedict Arnold, revealing unvarnished accounts of hardships suffered, tactical decisions made, and critical moments that shaped the new nation. The rarely seen documents in this collection offer fresh insights into the minds of historical figures and their perspectives on the events they shaped. Not just a list of autographs, this volume weaves together the stories behind the documents, placing them in their historical context to shed new light on the past.
