 Now you say on page nineteen when he was appointed commander in chief of the Continental Congress at the onset of the war he refused any salary asking only to be reimbursed when the war concluded. He should have been killed numerous times in battle. What happened at Valley Forge in that cold brutal winter was unbelievable. He could have kept it together and the fact he could beat the British was also incredible. I need to get on there's so many so little time. Teddy Roosevelt
