Book Description
Mr. Moore--the accomplished Librarian of the New York Historical Society, to whose zeal, energy and good judgment, the Society owes so much--has made an original contribution to our history, of extraordinary interest. It clears up the painful doubts, which rested on the honor and good faith of Washington's second in command, into the more painful but undeniable certainty of his deliberate treachery to the cause he had espoused. Mr. Moore has become possessed of several documents in relation to that remarkable man, never yet published; and among them a manuscript in Gen. Lee's own handwriting, endorsed in the handwriting of Henry Strachey, Secretary to the Royal Commissioners, Lord and Sir William Howe, in which he has drawn out for them a plan for putting an end to the Revolutionary War by the subjugation of the country to the British arms. Of this treasonable document he gives us a facsimile, accompanied by such notices of Lee previously to his entering the service of his country, and of his capture and imprisonment by the British, as serve for all needful elucidation of the subject. He reserves, however, the story of Lee's conduct at Monmouth, and his trial after that affair, for a larger work, to contain a more complete account of Lee's life. Meantime he gives us this part of the results of his investigations and discoveries, demonstrating beyond all question the fact of Lee's treason. He has most creditably accomplished the task he proposed to himself, proving--what all who knew him well were aware of--his eminent fitness for those investigations into our history to which he has devoted so much attention. --The Church Review, Volume 13

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
This biography attempts to set the record straight for a misunderstood military figure from the American Revolution. Historians and biographers of Charles Lee have treated him as either an enemy of George Washington or a defender of American liberty. Neither approach is accurate; objectivity is required to fully understand the war’s most complicated general. In George Washington’s Nemesis, author Christian McBurney uses original documents (some newly discovered) to combine two dramatic stories to create one balanced view of one of the Revolutionary War’s most fascinating personalities. General Lee, second in command in the Continental Army led by George Washington, was captured by the British in December, 1776. While imprisoned, he gave his captors a plan on how to defeat Washington’s army as quickly as possible. This extraordinary act of treason was not discovered during his lifetime. Less well known is that throughout his sixteen months of captivity and even after his release, Lee continued communicating with the enemy, offering to help negotiate an end to the rebellion. After Lee rejoined the Continental Army, he was given command of many of its best troops together with orders from Washington to attack British general Henry Clinton’s column near Monmouth, New Jersey. But things did not go as planned for Lee, leading to his court-martial for not attacking and for retreating in the face of the enemy. McBruney argues the evidence clearly shows Lee was unfairly convicted and had, in fact, done something beneficial. But Lee had insulted Washington, which made the matter a political contest between the army’s two top generals—only one of whom could prevail.
