A rare window into George Washington’s wartime correspondence, presented with scholarly insight. This edition gathers letters to Benjamin Lincoln from 1777 to 1781, with a foreword and descriptive notes by George H. Richmond. It highlights which letters are published or unpublished and contrasts Sparks’ and Ford’s printings to show how the texts have been shaped over time. The result is a focused look at primary sources that illuminate the Revolutionary era through Washington’s own words.
Readers will encounter long, unpublished letters alongside published ones, many presented in the original handwriting or in careful transcripts. The collection showcases the practical concerns of the general, from troop pay and logistics to plans for battles and moves across New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York. It also situates these letters within a broader historical narrative about leadership, strategy, and national memory.
Ideal for readers of Revolutionary War history and Washington scholarship.
