1898). The general reader will probably put aside the older
biographies of Washington by Marshall, Irving, and Sparks for
more recent "Lives" such as those by Woodrow Wilson, Henry Cabot

character. The problems of the army are described in Bolton, "The
Private Soldier under Washington" (1902), and in Hatch, "The
Administration of the American Revolutionary Army" (1904). For

Codman, "Arnold's Expedition to Quebec" (1901); and Lucas,
"History of Canada", 1763-1812 (1909).
