First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. First Edition. This is an exceptional historical reference which presents the dramatic confrontation between the Bristish forces under the command of John Burgoyne, and the Americans leading to the British surrender at Saratoga, New York, in 1777. Ironically, Burgoyne became the prisoner of General Gates who years before had been a member of the same regiment when they were both lieutenants. This event marked the turning point in the war. Included are maps, illustrations, endnotes, appendices, and an index. This copy is clean, solid, and appears unread. A book review has been laid in.

Fascinating, revealing, and often surprising opinions on the "Father of his Country" from more than sixty selected observers of the past two centuries. Comrades-in-arms, enemies and admirers, revolutionaries and myth-makers, pacifists and generals, philosophers, artists, journalists, and poets, politicians, then and now, courtiers and diarists, presidents, an emperor, and a king. Some personally knew Washington - the rest wish they had. Part I: "Voices of a Young Nation; Part II: "Between Then and Now"; Part III: Washington Today - and Tomorrow." More than 60 prints and photographs." - from the rear outer jacket. "The Essential George Washington is a vivid portrait in words of the man who - more than any other - brought the United States into the world. What they say about him is often controversial, often unexpected: Why did Thomas Paine turn against him? Why did Martha Dangerfield Bland call him "impudent"? What is the truth about the cherry tree story? What was his single most important quality? Why, for two centuries, has his fame endured - as a glorifed icon or as an all-too-human man? The answers to these questions and many more about the "Father of His Country" are brought to light in this collection. Washington's contemporaries are followed by famous Americas from the decades between then and now, and finally by well-known modern-day Americans. Included are Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Martha Washington, Abigail Adams, King George III, Parson Weems, Napoleon, Oliver Wendell HOlmes, Sr., Abraham Lincoln, Artemus Ward, Walt Whitman, Woodrow Wilson, Bob Dole, George McGovern, Eugen McCarthy, Letitia Baldrige, Newt Gingrich, Ronald Reagan - and many others. With biographical sketches of the contributors." - from the inner front jacket flap. Signed by Author(s).
