Status Updates From Washington: A Life [Hardcov...

I have reached my only criticism of this book thus far, which is that I would have wanted to hear more about the Battle of Yorktown! Of course, just as this was only one chapter in Washington's life, it makes sense that there would only be one chapter really dedicated to it.

However, I found Philbrick's book on Yorktown so I'll have to read that one soon!

Backed up to the beginning of the current chapter. Picking this back up after enjoying The Glorious Cause.

On Chapter 6: The Soul of an Army.

Early in his first term, President Washington has tasked himself with visiting all 13 of the states. How did he endure all the performance art required?

For the first time since starting this magnificent biography by Ron Chernow, even I am bored. All the posturing by Gov. John Hancock, especially! President George's sense of duty kept him going but (as it seems to me) just barely.
