Outlines the military strategy employed during the American Revolutionary War by soldiers led by "Mad" Anthony Wayne (1745-1796); and considers his life and career both before and after the war. Eleven chapters cover: Early training and discipline; Canadian campaign and Ticonderoga; Brandywine, Germantown, and Valley Forge; Monmouth; Stony Point; Arnold's treason, and the revolt of the Pennsylvania Line; Virginia campaign and Yorktown; The George campaign; Wayne in civil life; Campaign against the northwestern Indians; and Ceremonies at the reinterment of General Wayne's remains at St. David's. With appendices and additional military information. #125 of 150 signed (by author) and numbered copies. This copy was once owned by Mary A. Templin Jarden, whose great-grandmother Hannah Wayne Van Leer was a sister of Mad Anthony Wayne. She scribbled out some details of her genealogy on an opening flyleaf; and with the aid of online sources, the relationship is easy enough to trace. An additional treasure for Wayne descendents, of which there must be many.
