Historical Figures of George Stuart
Baron von Steuben was a Prussian officer who was recruited by Franklin to join the Continental army in 1777. He spent the winter at Valley Forge training Washington’s army and led them at the battle of Monmouth. The training in bayonet usage proved pivotal in the Stony Point battle. His work was indispensible to Washington’s effort, earning Von Steuben the position of Inspector General.

George Washington (c. 1775), received his early military training as an officer in the colonial militia and saw action in the French and Indian Wars. When the united colonies searched for a military leader, Washington was an easy choice. Named Commander in Chief of the Continental forces in 1775, he led the ragged army to a difficult victory with the aid of the French. Washington's militry accomplishments and steady demeanor later led to his election as President.

Mid 18th century suit, silk/linen, Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY. This appears to be later than mid 18th century. The curve of the coat and tall collar suggests a date in the 1780s would be more accurate. Any thoughts?
