One More Time!
At the risk of belaboring a point, I want to share with you another example of what could, from one perspective, be seen as a critical hindrance to achieving a goal, but from another, one realizes that it was, for some, a life-saving grace.Some months after the re-taking of Boston, Washington was...

When Plans Go Awry...
Sometimes, your plans are coming together unexpectedly well, and victory appears to be within reach, so close!! and then, the bottom falls out. Now what? And also, why is this happening?

Things Change...
It is definitely no compliment to be labeled a 'Benedict Arnold'. That name carries with it the stinging impact of the accusation Traitor!

Things Aren't Always What They Seem... (Part 2)
(click Here for Part 1)I don't imagine that our young George Washington had the slightest inkling, at age eleven, that he would become the monumental figure in American history that he did.

Things Aren't Always What They Seem... (Part 1)
I'm wondering if I should alter my blog title, as it seems that I am almost unable to move past my ever-increasing fascination with our country's first President.

Someone Else's Misfortune...
Before we travel much further into the Revolutionary War, I think it might be a good idea to turn back and visit our first President's youth. There we find his half-brother Lawrence.Lawrence was fourteen years older than George, the firstborn son of George's father Augustine and his first wife... Read more...

Regrets... (Part 2)
Though Washington was the only man to appear in military regalia at the Second Continental Congress (from which he emerged commander-in-chief), and it would seem likely that such an outcome may have motivated his choice of dress, still...when talk spread throughout the Congress that he would be...
