Sobre este artículo
"All of St. Clair's voluminous defense is rendered nugatory and futile by the passionate ejaculations of Washington, when Major Denny called him from a dinner-party, to announce the defeat. Overcome with surprise and indignation, Washington cursed the beaten general with exceeding fervor, adding, 'Did not my last words warn him against a surprise'" - Field. The work was printed by the important Philadelphia printer, Jane Aitken, daughter of the printer of the first American Bible in English. An important record of a largely forgotten watershed in American history. HOWES S24, "aa." FIELD 1349. SABIN 75020. EBERSTADT 115:892. THOMSON 1012. SHAW & SHOEMAKER 26682.
