Böcker i Presidential Series-serien

Part of the ""Revolutionary War Series"", this work documents a period that includes the Continental Army's last weeks at Valley Forge, the British evacuation of Philadelphia, and the Battle of Monmouth Court House. It begins with George Washington's army at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, celebrating the alliance between the United States and France.

This volume of the papers of George Washington covers the period when his attention was devoted to several matters of national significance: the Residence and Funding Acts; Indian affairs; Harmar's expedition in the Northwest Territory; and intrigues of foreign agents on America's frontiers.

Volume 10 of the ""Presidential Series"" continues the fourth chronological series of ""The Papers of George Washington"". In the period covered by this volume, the spring and summer of 1792, George Washington was busy dealing with a host of foreign and domestic issues.

This volume presents documents written during the final sessions of the First Congress. Congress passed legislation that established a national bank and federal excise, and increased the size of the army. Washington also gave a lot of time to the new federal city on the Potomac.

This volume covers March-September of 1791, when Washington completed a tour of the southern states. On tour and when he returned to the capital, the heads of executive departments regularly reported to him about affairs of state, whilst friends and foreign correspondents sent news from Europe.
