Book Description
Excerpt from Some Social Notes Addressed to Samuel Blachley Webb, 1776-1791 Into this life General Webb entered with zest and keen pleasure. He had almost been appointed Secretary at War, under the Confederation, but that coveted position had been given to Major General Benjamin Lincoln, whose fortunes and misfortunes in the war seemed to de mand that recognition. He had his military associates, and a wide acquaintance in the city to which even his imprison ment had contributed. He knew many of the members of Congress, and, a young widower, of decidedly social tastes and talents, he continually extended his acquaintanceship, which soon ripened into friendships. New York society had never offered so much, and few were so capable of en joying it at its best. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Diaries V. 6; Jan. , 1790-Dec. 1799
Author: George Washington
Publisher: University of Virginia Press
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 586
Book Description
Washington was rarely isolated from the world during his eventful life. His diary for 1751-52 relates a voyage to Barbados when he was nineteen. The next two accounts concern the early phases of the French and Indian War, in which Washington commanded a Virginia regiment. By the 1760s when Washington's diaries resume, he considered himself retired from public life, but George III was on the British throne and in the American colonies the process of unrest was beginning that would ultimately place Washington in command of a revolutionary army. Even as he traveled to Philadelphia in 1787 to chair the Constitutional Convention, however, and later as president, Washington's first love remained his plantation, Mount Vernon. In his diary, he religiously recorded the changing methods of farming he employed there and the pleasures of riding and hunting. Rich in material from this private sphere, The Diaries of George Washington offer historians and anyone interested in Washington a closer view of the first president in this bicentennial year of his death.
