Just about done since a good 30% of the book is the appendices. Fascinating read.

Washington delays in his response

Caught back up all the way through Yorktown. SO we'll see if the Newburgh plot moves forward a bit now

Looks like American disregard for its military and veterans once the war is over is not a new phenomenon and is as American as America.

Neat to learn that during the Revolutionary war we had an Invalid Corps. Things like that (and the earlier mention of women's involvement in the military) seem to be 2 steps forward and 1 step back.

As a history geek, I'm enjoying this a lot
