Major General William Alexander, Lord Stirling, was one of Washington's most trusted officers. Had not his productive life been cut short just before the end of the Revolution, hw would certainly be one af America's icons. The author (his grandson) tells the story of his life with the aid of his substantial correspondence collection. Although written over 150 years ago, Duer's engaging biography of William Alexander, Lord Stirling, is still the key study of a near-forgotten patriot and Jerseyman.
