(Little Blue Book No. 276) Speeches and Letters by Washington, George; Edited By E. Haldeman-Julius

1833 George Washington 1ed Accounts of Revolutionary War Expenses Americana RARE

"Associate with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for it is better to be alone than in bad company."
­– George Washington

Few names are as synonymous with early America as George Washington. His writings, speeches, military and political endeavors will continually make a lasting impact on America. Many of his writings are still regularly studied as part of Colonial Americana, but one such work is considered quite obscure. Washington's "Account of Expenses During the Revolutionary War", which was written in from 1775 through 1783 is a thorough, detailed finance ledger and spending descriptions during the war.

This 1833 first edition is a facsimile folio of Washington's own handwriting and book-keeping. A rare work!
