| Summary | "Biographical Sketches of the Generals of the Continental Army of the Revolution" is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work provides detailed profiles of various generals who served in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, focusing particularly on their contributions, backgrounds, and military careers. The sketches offer insights into the lives of notable figures such as George Washington, Nathaniel Greene, and Benedict Arnold, among others, capturing the spirit and challenges faced during the revolution. The opening of this historical work presents an introduction that lays the groundwork for understanding the significance of the generals featured within. It starts with a list of general officers, detailing their ranks and dates of appointment by the Continental Congress from June 1775 to the end of the war. Readers are then treated to individual biographies that highlight each general's background, early life, military service, and notable accomplishments. The beginning sets a tone of reverence for these leaders, aiming to preserve their legacies as integral to the fight for American independence. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
