1857 GEORGE WASHINGTON 1st ed Domestic Life Letters Correspondence TOBIAS LEAR
“Washington in Domestic Life. From Original Letters and Manuscripts.” is a fascinating book by Richard Rush, the 8th U.S. Attorney General, former Secretary of the Treasury, and fellow founding father alongside Washington. The book illuminates an often-overlooked aspect of George Washingtons life - his domestic and personal affairs. This unique exploration is achieved through a collection of original letters penned by Washington to Colonel Tobias Lear, his private secretary and trusted confidant. Curated by Rush, these letters offer a unique perspective, revealing Washingtons personality beyond his political stature. The book includes a narrative of Benedict Arnolds treason, as recounted by Washington and documented by Lear, providing valuable historical insights. The letters were entrusted to Rush by Mrs. Lear, Colonel Lears wife, affirming the significant role of Colonel Lear in Washingtons life.
