Описание: On January 5, 1799, a day that was “cold and like for Snow,” Gouverneur Morris left the city of New York after dinner and then, as he recorded in his diary, went “to my House at Morrisania, where I arrive at Dusk after an Absence of above ten Years.” Those ten years had been spent in the ferment of the French Revolution and traveling the roads of a Europe at war with France. Now, back in the United States, this Founding Father began what would be yet another extraordinary chapter in a remarkable life. From the turn of the century—which ended with the death of Washington—until his own death in November 1816, Morris saw the first stages of fulfillment of his youthful predictions about America’s rapid growth and advancement. He also experienced the transition from a national government dominated by the Federalists to one in which the Democratic-Republicans took power, consolidated it, and dictated the country’s course.

Описание: Union Major General Gouverneur Warren participated in almost every major battle in the Civil War`s Eastern theatre, from Big Bethel to Five Forks. However, within days of the war`s end he was relieved in disgrace on the battlefield. Warren spent the next fifteen years seeking the activation of a Court of Inquiry that he believed would vindicate his conduct. This book is the story of that court.

Описание: In October 1794, Gouverneur Morris, Jefferson`s successor as American minister to France, left Paris forever. Instead of returning to America immediately, Morris spent the years 1794-98 travelling through Europe, continuing to keep the splendid diaries he began in Paris. This volume is the first modern edition of the diaries of those years, newly transcribed and annotated.
