Product Details:

Washington’s Farewell to His Officers by Henry Ogden portrays the deeply emotional scene of December 4, 1783, at Fraunces Tavern in New York, when George Washington bid farewell to the officers of the Continental Army at the close of the Revolutionary War. Rather than glorifying battle, Ogden focuses on the human cost of independence, showing Washington moving among his officers with visible grief as many struggle to contain their tears, a moment that encapsulates the moral authority he had earned by surrendering power and returning to private life, a gesture that astonished the world and helped cement the republican ideals for which the war had been fought.
