Biographical Sketches of the Generals of the Continental Army of the Revolution (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Biographical Sketches of the Generals of the Continental Army of the Revolution

The rare and valuable gift of engravings from Dr. Thomas addis emme'i' has been placed in the old mansion at Mount Vernon; and as this is the only complete collection on exhibition of the gen erals of the Continental Army, it seemed fitting that there should be a' concise history compiled to enable the visitor at Mount Vernon not alone to view this valuable collection, but to refer to dates of birth and death, commissions of service, and battles of importance, in which these generals distinguished themselves. In this small book the author has sought to enable the reader to obtain information of most importance, and also maintain her original design of a pocket edition, to encumber as little as possible the pilgrim to Mount Vernon.
