The Life of George Washington - Volume III by Washington Irving
Author Washington Irving believed this, his monumental biography of America's first great military hero and president, to be his finest literary achievement. Indeed, it is a masterful work, a superlative life of George Washington, and stood as a definitive text long after its 1860 publication. Volume I covers the arrival of supporting troops from Europe in the midst of the Revolution, Washington's appeals to the colonial governments for financial assistance, and the expansion of the war into the Southern states. WASHINGTON IRVING (1783-1859) was born in New York City to Scottish immigrant parents. Considered by some the Father of American Literature, Irving is best known for his short stories, including The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Rip Van Winkle, but he also produced an extensive bibliography of essays, poems, travel books, and biographies.| SKU | Unavailable |
