The Papers of George Washington
Book (italiano):
Part of a five-part series, this volume contains all of Washington's correspondence during the first five months of 1793, both the letters he wrote and those he received. Among the topics are detailed descriptions and discussion of Washington's farms at Mount Vernon, the development of the Federal District and the building of the U.S. Capitol, ongoing encounters with Indians in the Northwest Territories, and--what was felt to be the gravest issue of the time--discussion as to what role the U.S. should play in the war between France and Great Britain's coalition. Letters are included to and from Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, and Henry Knox. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
