Synopsis "Washington: A Heroic Drama of the Revolution, in Five Acts"

Washington: A Heroic Drama of the Revolution, in five acts, by Ingersoll Lockwood, presents key moments of the American Revolution from the vantage point of General Washington and those close to him. It is a dramatic play, in the style of historical fiction.The stage is set at the beginning of the Revolution. Washington is fretting over the state of the nation as it was then. The play then moves to the lowest point of Washington's tenure as General, at Valley Forge. That dark period gives way to another problem Washington must deal with - the notorious traitor, Benedict Arnold.Through the dramatization of these key historical moments, Washington's persistent leadership and his emotional reactions towards events are imagined and conveyed: "Companions in aims! 'Tis eight long years since Concord's plains ﬁrst drank of patriot blood, and yet me thinks thro' all that time no deeper shadow ever hung about my soul than shrouds it now..."It is easy to recognize and empathize with the joys and pains of the trials and tribulations Washington faced while seeking independence and freedom for the United States. Anyone interested in American history will enjoy this dramatic examination of America's first president from before the days of his presidency.
