The Papers of Robert Morris, 1781-1784: October 1, 1781-January 10, 1782 by Robert Morris,Elmer James Ferguson,John Catanzariti Pdf
Although Robert Morris (1734-1806), "the Financier of the American Revolution, " was a signer of the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the Constitution, a powerful committee chairman in the Continental Congress, an important figure in Pennsylvania politics, and perhaps the most prominent businessman of his day, he is today least known of the great national leaders of the Revolutionary era.This oversight is being rectified by this definitive publication project that transcribes and carefully annotates the Office of Finance diary, correspondence, and other official papers written by Morris during his administration as superintendent of finance from 1781 to 1784
