George Washington and the American Revolution, Patriots Who Lived or Died Fighting With Him, at Brooklyn Heights, and Other Stories, is a basic history of the American Revolution. It gives the reader a basic understanding of the conflict. The volume is also a biographical sketch of Virginia plantation owner George Washington, who decided to confront the tyrannical practices of the British Government. He accepted the position of Commander in Chief of the Continental Army, while realizing the soldiers he commanded had no chance in a war against British regulars, and Hessian mercenaries. General Washington was happy that at Saratoga, New York, October 17, 1777, British General John Burgoyne surrendered an army of over 5,000 to Continental General Horatio Gates. After this victory, the French supported the continental patriot cause. In 1778 the British were at Philadelphia. George Washington's Continentals were at Valley Forge. The Commander in Chief wrote many letters to help his army. He also prayed regularly for providential assistance. The French took over two years to send an army and a navy to North America. However, miraculously at Valley Forge in February 1778, help did arrive! This help and French support made the Great War end, with a total Continental victory, three years later in Virginia.
