General Washington's Christmas Farewell
Stanley Weintraub
In this charming historical novel, Stanley Weintraub sets forth the tale of one of George Washington's most memorable Christmases. Some British troops remained in America in 1783, on orders to stay until ratification of the peace terms. Awaiting that word, George Washington longed to go home for Christmas, but late in November of 1783, the General was still many miles from home. Before he could return to Mount Vernon, he had one last mission to accomplish for the new nation. He had to reoccupy New York City, which the British troops were finally going to leave. Then the long war would really be over.

George Washington: First in War
Dave R. Palmer
George Washington's long career as soldier began with defeat as a young line officer in the bloody frontier skirmishes of the French and Indian War. It culminated in the role of Commanding General of the Continental Army in victory over the British Army. In this history of Washington's career as an army officer, Dave Palmer reveals Washington's many qualities of character that made him an extraordinary military commander; qualities that not only allowed him to lead a fledgling army to secure the independence of his newly-formed country, but defined the role of the military in a free and democratic society.

George Washington: The Man Behind the Myths
William M.S. Rasmussen and Robert S. Tilton
Two hundred years after George Washington's death, the eloquence of "Lighthorse Harry" Lee's words "first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen" has caused most Americans to forget the clause that followed in which Lee located Washington's character firmly in his private life. This book redresses this historical imbalance in our image of Washington by examining our conceptions and misconceptions about him through a fascinating collection of documents and images.
