Excerpt from Soldier and Patriot: The Story of George Washington The fact of this evenness, and absence of special develop ment, makes the history of his life difficult to write. It is the irregularities, the eccentricities, the ruggedness of a character, which furnish anecdotes and incidents. The circumstances of Washington's career were indeed varied enough, involved as they were with the principal events of the American assertion of independence, but through them all the man moves on with a calm and stately tread, exhibiting to us perhaps more than anything else the nobility of common sense. In making the following brief sketch, I have been obliged to dwell upon the outward features of his career to exemplify his character. This must be my excuse if I have seemed to introduce too much of military detail; but at the same time I would have it remembered that it is Washington, and not the history of America, I have tried to sketch.

Excerpt from A Soldier of Virginia: A Tale of Colonel Washington and Braddock's Defeat Think you so and Allen laughed an insult ing laugh. There was that little brush at Fort Necessity last year, from which they brought away nothing but their skins, and damned glad they were to do that. They brought away their arms, I cried hotly, and would have brought away all their stores and munitions, had the French kept faith and held their Indians off. That, too, in face of an enemy three times their number. The Virginians have no cause to blush for their conduct at Fort Necessity. The Coldstreams could have done no better. Allen laughed again. Ah, pardon me, Stewart, he said contemptuously, I forgot that you were present on that glorious day. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Hardly a single experience in his career has not been realized by officers and men in these latter days. A very decided impression, however, has obtained among educated men, including those of the military profession, that Washington had neither the troops, resources, and knowledge, nor the broad range of field service which have characterized modern warfare, and therefore lacked material elements which develop the typical soldier.
