Never before has this story about George Washington been told. Crafted from hundreds of letters, witness accounts, and journal entries, Dear George, Dear Mary explores George's relationship with his first love, New York heiress Mary Philipse, the richest belle in Colonial America. From elegant eighteenth-century society to bloody battlefields, the novel creates breathtaking scenes and riveting characters. Dramatic portraits of the two main characters unveil a Washington on the precipice of greatness, using the very words he spoke and wrote, and his ravishing love, whose outward beauty and refinement disguise a complex inner struggle. Dear George, Dear Mary reveals why George Washington had such bitter resentment toward the Brits, established nearly two decades before the American Revolution, and it unveils details of a deception long hidden from the world that led Mary Philipse to be named a traitor, condemned to death and left with nothing. While that may sound like the end, ultimately both Mary and George achieve what they always wanted."-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Washington, George, $d 1732-1799 $v Fiction. 600 10 $a Philipse, Mary, $d 1730-1825 $v Fiction. 600 17 $a Washington, George, $d 1732-1799. $2 fast 650 0 $a Large type books. 650 0 $a Fiction. $2 fast 941 $a 3 945 $a lpt 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012025625.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201012916.0 952 $l HPPD845 $d 20191015012511.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9518F986BE5A11E99C58F60997128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
