Description
"Late in 1787, George Washington wrote a rare autobiographical account of his service in the French and Indian War. He related his experiences in a compelling eleven-page narrative that includes a vivid account of Braddock's defeat in 1755 and a description of a friendly-fire incident in 1758 that "involved the life of GW in as much jeopardy as it had ever been before or since."" "George Washington Remembers makes this very personal and little-known document available for the first time and offers a glimpse of Washington in a self-reflective mood - a side of the man seldom seen in his other writings. The facsimile reproduction of Washington's "Remarks" is accompanied by an annotated transcript and original essays that place the work in the context of the French and Indian War and Washington's life." "Lavishly illustrated, this remarkable book is essential for all interested in George Washington and our nation's founding period."--Jacket.
