Excerpt from George Washington as Commander-in-Chief
Revolutionary War, the pivot around which every thing else revolved. He had to contend with untold difficulties, with poverty, with cold, with hunger, with shiftlessness, with envy, with treachery, with hostile criticism, with jealousy, and with stupidity. Early in the war he wrote: I know the unhappy predicament I stand in; I know that much is expected of me; I know that without men, without arms, Without ammunition, without anything fit for the accommodation of a soldier, little is to be done; and, what is mortifying, I know that I cannot stand justified to the world without exposing my own weakness, and injuring the cause, which I am determined not to do. My own situation is so irksome to me at times, that, if I did not consult the public good more than my own tranquillity, I should, long ere this, have put everything on the cast of a die.
