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 III 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.

  • Through the years with prince charming
    Paul du Quenoy
    The past decade has overflowed in a raging stream of contradictions. Old certainties have yielded to relentless insecurity over a time when much of the human experience got immeasurably better even as many things only ever seemed to get worse. As Paul du Quenoy’s globetrotting criticism reveals, the arts were in a ferment that matched profound and yet totally unpredicted social...
