While helping to create a new nation, he set the stage for one of the most significant military victories in history at Saratoga, built a fortress on a rocky hillside that would later house West Point, the world's premier military academy, was credited with helping save an army from destruction in the Carolinas, and gained respect and acceptance not only for his military expertise, but for his great virtue and amiability as well."--BOOK JACKET.
