Illustrated with photographs, drawings, silhouettes and maps by the author. Signed via a typed Presentation Letter, formerly glued to the front endpaper but now loose, by the author and husband Tom as follows: "Mrs. Donald G. Tewksbury: Dear Friend: This copy of "Sword and Pen for George Washington" is being presented to you because you are among the friends we cherish. Circumstance in recent years have prevented our being personally with our friends as often as we would wish. But the gift to you of this book emphasizes that you continue high in the respect and regard of the author and her husband. (signed) Alice & tom Desmond Newburgh, New York October 28, 1964." "This fascinating book is about the widely varied young men who volunteered their sword and their pen in the service of George Washington. It is told against the background of the Revolution and the early days of the United States of America. Mrs. Desmond is a serious historian, who weaves her wealth of authentic Revolutionary knowledge into an entertaining story.This versatile author has also drawn the fascinating, characterful silhouettes of the main personalities in her book, each accompanied by an authentic (facsimile) signature."
