At the time of his death, Charles Washington Goldsborough was Chief of the Bureau of Provisions and Clothing of the Navy Department. He had been a government employee for nearly half a century. He was employed as a clerk in the Navy Department at its initial organization in 1798. He then served as chief clerk of the department under Secretary of the Navy Robert Smith. When the Board of Navy Commissioners was instituted in 1815, Goldsborough was appointed clerk in that office, a position he retained until 1834 when he was appointed Secretary of the Board. In 1842, when the Navy Department was reorganized into five separate bureaus, Goldsborough was placed at the head of the Bureau of Provisions and Clothing. Goldsborough was highly educated and according to his obituary in The National Intelligencer, “possessed in an eminent degree the finer qualities of the heart.” In his later years, Goldsborough served as president of the Provident Association of Clerks in the Executive Departments of the General Government within the District of Columbia. Upon Goldsborough’s death, that body formally resolved “an expression of their deep and heartfelt regret at the loss of one with whom they had long been associated, and for whom, whilst living, it was their pride to give repeated evidences of their highest respect and esteem.”.

Footnotes. References. Cover has some wear and soiling. Some underlining noted. Since World War II, a new group of scholars has subjected the writings of the Imperial and Progressive historians to a massive, critical reassessment. Reexamining and rethinking the evidence at almost every major point, they have proceeded along two distinct yet complementary and overlapping lines of investigation. One line has been concerned mainly with exploring the substantive issues both in the debate with Britain and in the politics of the new nation between 1776 and 1789 and in examining the nature of internal political divisions and assessing their relationship to the dominant issues. A second line of investigation has been through the history of ideas, especially through the underlying assumptions and traditions of social and political behavior, and has sought to explain the relationship between those ideas and the central developments of the Revolutionary era. The material will appear in somewhat altered form as the introduction to a collection of essays on the American Revolution to be published by Harper & Row. More
