Description
On March 15, 1783, General Washington met with his officers in camp at Newburgh, New York. He faced a possibly mutinous army, enraged at not being paid and continuing to be confined in an army outpost despite no military action for nearly a year and a half. Volatile and rancorous emotions filled the room as their General stood to speak. I wish I had been there!
