Kelly Library Of St. Gregory's University; Alev Akman, and David Widger WASHINGTON AND HIS COMRADES IN ARMS, A CHRONICLE OF THE WAR OF INDEPENDENCE Volume 12 in the Chronicles of America Series. Abraham Lincoln Edition. By George M. Wrong PREFATORY NOTE The author is aware of a certain audacity in undertaking, himself a Briton, to appear in a company of American writers on American history and above all to write on the subject of Washington. If excuse is needed it is to be found in the special interest of the career of Washington to a citizen of the British Commonwealth of Nations at the present time and in the urgency with which the editor and publishers declared that such an interpretation would not be unwelcome to Americans and pressed upon the author a task for which he doubted his own qualifications.
