Review # 1 was written on 2018-09-13 00:00:00 Diana Pierce An outstanding account of an outstanding Cavalryman, Leader and American. This book not only details the life of Col. William Washington, but is also a very detailed account of the American Revolutions Southern Campaign. William Washington, Georges Washingtons cousin, was a known gentleman in all aspects of his life.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-09-02 00:00:00 Vincent Leclair Legault I've had this book on my shelf forever it seems. It was good and delved into a character of the War of Independence that I knew of but not in any detail. The book itself was short (181 pages), a chronology of Washington's life was included as an appendix and a strong bibliography. There were several discrepancies I noted regarding dates that i just think were missed in the proof reading but nothing major. My favorite quote comes from General Nathaniel Greene: During the campaign in the Carolinas, Greene once "referred to Lee as his "eye," but called he called Colonel Washington his "arm." Washington was George Washington's "second cousin, once removed." Another officer who stuck it out when others faltered, worked with a lot less than was needed and contributed mightily in engagements at Cowpens and Guilford Court House.
