A poem : Addressed to the armies of the United… door David Humphreys
"The public papers continue to say favourable and just things of your poem." - Thomas Jefferson to David Humphreys [PTJ 10:250-252]
This is a short book and a quick read. The main value from this book is that it was written by one of Washington's friends, and Washington contributed to the book. There is not much here that you will not find in other more in depth biographies, but it is worth reading.
