His numerous defeats were often the result of taking orders from his inferiors in command. However, his strength of character and personal bravery helped maintain army morale during perilous days, and the battles he did win were so important that we can afford to forget that he lost far more than he won. Washington was a major in the British army at 21 and retired to private life at Mount Vernon at 27, little knowing that his greatest work had not yet started. (Public Ledger--WNU Serviefe) & b.
