General Washington's Christmas Farewell A Mount Vernon Homecoming, 1783 Paperback - 2004
by Stanley Weintraub
In late November 1783, when George Washington finally received formal notice of the signing of a peace treaty with England, Washington had little more than a month to accept the transfer of power from Britain, to bid farewell to his troops, and to resign his commission to Congress if he hoped to make it to Mount Vernon for Christmas.
Washington's homeward journey is one of the most moving and inspiring stories from his great and eventful life. When he bade farewell to his troops at Fraunces Tavern in New York City, there were no dry eyes. His farewell address before Congress cemented his greatness more fully than had his victory over the British. When he made it to Mount Vernon, finally, on Christmas Eve, he could not have experienced a more deserved homecoming.
First line
After more than eight years of war, General George Washington was impatient to return home.
