Washington and his trpops were
one in the glorious annals of the Revo-
lution. A few experienced and many
valiant officers, soldiers who must
needs often divide their time between
fighting and caring for their families,
these made up the army that won our
liberty from England. Washington
supplied the generalship, the confi-
dence, the persistent determination
for an army. They had the courage,
they- withstood the hardships, they
fought the battles. Washington and
his army are inseparable in history,
