Binding remains intact. Free of known markings. Please see photos. Quite rare. Eulogies for Washington were in high demand after his death in 1799. Venerated and mythologized even in life, after his death, his status as the embodiment of U.S. values grew exponentially. The combination of Washington s own writings with Jackson s, eulogy services to present evidence for Washington s status as a beloved hero. William Jackson was Washington s personal secretary who also acted as the secretary of the United States Continental Congress, as well as serving in the Revolutionary War as Major. A fascinating work published while emotions were high!. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers RAREA1802AMOZ
