Book Description
Excerpt from An Account of the Manuscript Papers of George Washington, Which Were Left by Him at Mount Vernon: With a Plan for Their Publication This period will occupy a comparatively small portion of the work yet it will by no means he the least valuable. When it is recollected, that Washington was then a mere youth, engaged in hazardous enterprises, to which he was led by his native ardor and spirit; that, from the age of twentytwo to twentyseven, he held a very responsible command over the united forces of the largest colony on the continent, and was required to defend a dangerous frontier, where he was exposed to the perpetual incur sions of the French and Indians; that he acquitted himself hon orably on all occasions, and received the public thanks of his government, and the unanimous applause of his fellow cit izens, for his good conduct; when these circumstances are brought to mind, the conviction cannot be resisted, that an ac count of such a train of occurrences, written by his own hand.

Book Description
The Papers of George Washington, a grant-funded project, was established in 1968 at the University of Virginia, under the joint auspices of the University and the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association of the Union, to publish a comprehensive edition of Washington's correspondence. Letters written to Washington as well as letters and documents written by him are being published in the complete edition that will consist of approximately ninety volumes. The work is now (2011) more than two-thirds complete. The edition is supported financially by grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the National Historical Publications and Records Commission, the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association, the University of Virginia, and gifts from private foundations and individuals. Today there are copies of over 135,000 Washington documents in the project's document room. This is one of the richest collections of American historical manuscripts extant. There is almost no facet of research on life and enterprise in the late colonial and early national periods that will not be enhanced by material from these documents. The publication of Washington's papers will make this source material available not only to scholars but to all Americans interested in the founding of their nation. - Publisher
