Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Calendar of the Correspondence of George Washington, Vol. 1 of 4: Commander in Chief of the Continental Army, With the Officers; June 17, 1775-October 19, 1778 This calendar is No. 2 of the Calendars of the Washington Manuscripts. It covers Washington´s correspondence with the military and naval officers of every rank of Continental and State troops, the French auxiliaries, foreign ministers and agents, and officers in the British service. It should be used in connection with Calendar No. 1 (The Correspondence of George Washington with the Continental Congress. Washington: 1906), entries from which are occasionally duplicated for convenience of reference. The chief basis of the calendar is that portion of the Washington Papers arranged by Richard Varick as Series B; but other series have been included, and miscellaneous papers from other collections in the Manuscripts Division have been drawn upon. (See table of Sources and References, Page V.) Series C of the Washington Papers (the correspondence with the governors and civil authorities of the States) has not been included. The calendar commences with Washington´s memorandum of the British loss at Bunker Hill, 1775, and practically ends with the close of the year 1783. A general entry for the half dozen papers of 1783 relating to the Society of the Cincinnati has been made as properly belonging to the military correspondence of the Commander in Chief, and Maj. Gen. Knox´s last report in the beginning of 1784 has been added to round out the correspondence relating to the Army. Where a letter or document has been printed in either of the standard editions of Sparks´ or Ford´s Writings of Washington or in Sparks´ Correspondence of the American Revolution, better and more generally known as Sparks´ Letters to Washington, the fact has been noted. The calendar is the work of John C. Fitzpatrick, of the Division of Manuscripts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
