| Summary | "The Life of George Washington, Vol. 4" by John Marshall is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This volume focuses on the military campaigns and political developments surrounding George Washington during the American Revolutionary War, particularly in the southern states, leading up to his presidency. It likely serves to chronicle Washington's pivotal role in the establishment of the United States following the struggle for independence and the foundations of governance. At the start of this volume, the narrative delves into the tumultuous military campaign of 1781 in South Carolina and Georgia. It introduces General Nathanael Greene, who strategizes to reclaim these territories from British control amidst the dire circumstances of warfare. The text highlights the significance of military engagements such as the Battle of Hobkirk's Hill and Greene's persistent efforts to assemble a force capable of confronting the British through tactical maneuvers, even when faced with overwhelming odds. The account paints a vivid picture of the hardships endured not only by the troops but also by the civilian population during this chaotic period, setting the tone for a detailed exploration of the war's complexities and Washington's leadership amidst crises.
