    This is the story of George Washington's emotional parting with his most loyal officers on December 4, 1783, just days after final victory in the Revolution. In a moving and utterly silent occasion at Fraunces Tavern in New York City, officer after officer crossed the room to shake Washington's hand and bid their beloved commander goodbye. The story of each man's exploits in the war is vividly recounted in a patchwork of vignettes that capture the triumph and drama of the war they waged for liberty. Illustrated with period art.

  • af Beth Moses Hickok
    118,95 kr.

    This is a portrayal, not of Grandma Moses's primitive paintings, but the woman herself: a crusty, feisty, upstate New York farmwife and grandmother, as remembered in affectionate detail by Beth Moses Hickok, who married into the family at 22, and raised two of Grandma's granddaughters. Set in 1934, four years before Grandma was discovered as an artist and soon gained national renown, the book includes treasured family snapshots, and an album of photographs that evoke the landscape of Eagle Bridge, New York, Grandma Moses's home for most of her long life. The cover depicts a rare colorful yarn painting given to the author as a wedding present by the artist.
