Correspondence, letterbooks, and travel journals cover Washington's life as a Virginia county surveyor and as colonel of the militia during the French and Indian War. His election as delegate to the First and Second Continental Congresses, and his command of the American army during the Revolutionary War are well documented. Notes, correspondence, and a journal of proceedings record his two presidential administrations from 1789 through 1797. Because of the wide range of Washington's interests, activities and correspondents, which included ordinary citizens as well as celebrated figures, his papers are a rich source for almost every aspect of colonial and early American history. The collection is organized into eight parts that will be published successively through 1999. This project is funded by Reuters America Inc. and the Reuter Foundation.
