October 2025 I am reading Revolutionary Mothers to take part in the WV DAR book club via zoom. I am not sure I will finish it in time for the meeting. But it is of interest.
Martha Washington is shown as a wife who joined her husband every winter and is seen in a most complimentary light.
Nathaniel Green's wife, Catharine Littlefield Greene
was an American patriot who traveled to her husband, Continental Army General Nathanael Greene's, encampments during the American Revolutionary War. She entertained and comforted the soldiers, officers, and officer's wives. During that time she had four children and a fifth after the end of the war. Greene followed her husband, regardless of cold weather or illness in the camps, notably spending the winter at Valley Forge.
Grace Gallaway was turned out of her home but kept a good attitude.
