Washington Irving (April 3, 1783 – November 28, 1859) was an American short-story writer, essayist, biographer, historian, and diplomat of the early 19th century. He is best known for his short stories "Rip Van Winkle" (1819) and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" (1820), both of which appear in his collection The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. His historical works include biographies of Oliver Goldsmith, Muhammad and George Washington, as well as several histories of 15th-century Spain that deal with subjects such as Alhambra, Christopher Columbus and the Moors. Irving served as American ambassador to Spain in the 1840s. Born and raised in Manhattan to a merchant family, Irving made his literary debut in 1802 with a series of observational letters to the Morning Chronicle, written under the pseudonym Jonathan Oldstyle. He temporarily moved to England for the family business in 1815 where he achieved fame with the publication of The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent., serialized from 1819–20. He continued to publish regularly throughout his life, and he completed a five-volume biography of George Washington before his death at age 76. Irving was one of the first American writers to earn acclaim in Europe, and he encouraged other American authors such as Hawthorne, Longfellow, Herman Melville and Edgar Allan Poe. More

In January 1754, George Washington was a twenty-one-year-old major serving in the Virginia militia, just returning to Williamsburg from a 900-mile mission into the Ohio country. Washington wrote a report of his two-and-a-half month trans-Allegheny journey titled The Journal of Major George Washington. The narrative covered October 31, 1753 until January 16, 1754. Upon his arrival, Washington delivered the French Commandant's letter of refusal to abandon the Ohio territory. Dinwiddie immediately rushed Washington’s report into print in order to awaken colonial and British officials to the urgent need to defend the western frontier from French encroachment. More

Washington's Farewell Address is a letter written by American President George Washington as a valedictory to "friends and the fellow-citizens" after 20 years of public service to the United States. He wrote it near the end of his second term of presidency before retiring to his home at Mount Vernon in Virginia. The letter was first published as The Address of Gen. Washington to the People of America on His Declining the Presidency of the United States in the American Daily Advertiser on September 19, 1796, about ten weeks before the presidential electors cast their votes in the 1796 election. It is a classic statement of republicanism, warning Americans of the political dangers which they must avoid if they are to remain true to their values. It was almost immediately reprinted in newspapers around the country, and later in pamphlet form. More
