Review
An invaluable guide for historians and, surprisingly, the casual reader interested in Washington, his observations on several trips and... comments on some of the military and political affairs of the day.... Large sections of the diary... give the general reader a fascinating insight to the man.
--Will Molineux in Newport News Daily PressIn March 1785 Washington referred to his work at Mount Vernon as his singular 'amusement, ' which is what Donald Jackson and Dorothy Twohig continue to provide readers of Washington's diaries. These volumes stand in welcome contrast to the growing colorlessness that has become the hallmark of too many documentary editions.
--American Historical ReviewThe editors have turned the diaries and almanac notes... into sources that when placed in their context give us real insight into this most inscrutable of the Founding Fathers.
--Virginia Quarterly Review"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.

Cloth. Condition: Fine. First Edition. As new . Washington's diary material is voluminous but much of it is utilitarian and today seems to be somewhat pedestrian -- the weather , the crops ect. Twohig has done an excellent job of selecting the important material in these 453 pages while keeping enough of the references to Washington's daily routine to provide balance . Introduction by Twohig . Illustrated . Bibliography . A very useful Index . Seller Inventory # 009255
