Summary of Joel Richard Paul's Without Precedent
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The Continental Army was a disaster. It was poorly disciplined, and the soldiers were starving. The camp needed 30,000 pounds of bread and an equivalent amount of meat daily. In addition, the soldiers were promised a gill of whiskey a day.
#2 John Marshall, a lieutenant from the Culpeper regiment of rural Virginia, was one of the few soldiers who seemed upbeat. He had a round, friendly face and an infectious grin. He was extremely athletic, and his good spirits never faded.
#3 Marshall's superior officers were impressed with his even temper, fair-mindedness, and intelligence. He was promoted to deputy judge advocate, and he arbitrated disputes between soldiers and litigated violations of Washington's orders.
#4 The hardships at Valley Forge shaped Marshall's views about government. He concluded that the Articles of Confederation were unworkable, and that a strong central government was needed to defend the nation.
