Washington: An Appraisal By His Enemies*
Donald A. Gallager
Apparently there have been two orthodox approaches to
Washington — one forward through Weems and the other
backward from Gilbert Stuart and John Marshall. If Weems
is followed, Washington appears a cross between a prig and a
paragon. Seen through the eyes of the Chief Justice, or the
Rhode Island painter, he becomes so awesome and reserved a
figure it is hard to credit him with reality.
Washington did not live in a vacuum. He, and all around
him throughout his life, were people of flesh and blood. They
loved, hated, hoped, feared, tried, failed, succeeded; they erred,
argued, agreed, disagreed. Those whose paths joined or crossed
Washington's in Virginia, in the Western forests, in Williams-
burg, in Philadelphia, at Valley Forge or on the battlefield,
were as human as people in any time and place, and as likely as
anyone to gain impressions and have opinions concerning a man
who in stature and in presence, stood invariably above the
crowd. So, too, there was by no means unanimity, in war or in
peace, concerning Washington, the young Major of a Virginia
regiment, Washington the mmber of the House of Burgesses,
Washington the delegate to the Continental Congress, Wash
ington the leader of the Revolution, Washington our First
President, or Washington the departed Father of his Country.
The measure of a man comes not from blind devotion to a
myth, or uncritical adulation. One cannot appreciate an artist
by looking at only one portion of a canvas, nor a writer by
reading only the paragraphs one is predisposed to agree with.
Only in the context of work-a-day reality can the character of

any man be read aright.' To know Washington, we must know
his critics, his opponents, his antagonists, as well as his friends,
his supporters.
Let me here make clear that I do not propose to remove
Washington from his pedestal. I am moved to give you this
assurance by something which occurred when I was assembling
the material for this paper. In one of the libraries where I did
my research, I dug deeply into the considerable amount of
critical, even scurrilous, material on Washington. One of the
staff members, who knew me well, finally could contain herself
no longer, and exclaimed, "Mr. Gallager, I never thought you
were an historical muckraker!" Indeed I am not. HoWver, I
do believe that when we see what Washington lived through,
contended with, and rose above, we better understand his
greatness, and better appreciate the verity of the prophetic
statement by the Reverend Mr. Samuel Dayies, in a sermon at
Hanover, Virginia, August 17 ,1755, ". . . that Providence has
preserved that heroic youth, Colonel Washington, to be the
saviour of this Country."
We all know the story of Washington's first service to
Governor Dinwiddie of Virginia, in delivering a message to the
French military commander in the Ohio River valley, warning
the French to withdraw. The French were interested in the fur
tade. The British wanted it for farming. Washington volun
teered to deliver the message, and returned to Virginia with
not only a French refusal of Governor Dinwiddie's ultimatum,
but a detailed report of the dangers to be expected from the
French, and the Indians, and the recommendation that a fort
be built at the junction of the Ohio and Allegheny rivers. Here
we find a strange thing happening to the Washington of the
cherry tree story. He was accused by enemies of Governor
Dinwiddie, and by rival land speculators, of untruthfully magni
fying the dangers in an effort to get military help for the Ohio
Company, a land speculation venture in which Dinwiddie had
an interest.
The fort was built. Governor Dinwiddie promoted Washing
ton to Lieutenant Colonel and dispatched him, with a small
WASHINGTON: AN APPRAISAL BY HIS ENEMIES
203
force, to man the new fort. The French got there first. Wash
ington built a stockade, Fort Necessity, about sixty miles from
Fort Duquesne, was attacked by the French and Indians, and
forced to withdraw. Word of this engagement reached Eng
land, and Horace Walpole called Washington "a brave brag
gart." The Earl of Albemarle, titular Governor of Virginia
and British Ambassador to France, wrote the Duke of New
castle: "Washington and many such may have courage and
resolution, but they have no knowledge or exiierience in our
profession; consequently there can be no dependence on them."
Not long after this, Dinwiddie told Washington he had orders
from London to reduce the rank of all colonial officers. Wash
ington, now a colonel, and genuinely interested in a military
career, was not willing to submit to a reduction in rank, so he
resigned his commission.
The following year, Washington's defeat and the French
occupation of the Ohio Territory having stirred the British
government to action. General Edward Braddock arrived as
Commander of the British forces in the colonies, and invited
Washington to serve with him. There being some dispute as to
rank and pay, Washington finally agreed to serve as Braddock's
personal aide-de-camp, without pay, with the courtesy rank of
colonel. Braddock's superb confidence impressed the civilian
population, though it caused misgivings among the colonial
officers. X am reminded of a charming story about Benjamin
Franklin in connection with Braddock's expedition to retake
Fort Duquesne. Some Philadelphia citizens were taking up a
collection to pay for fireworks to be used in celebrating the
expected capture of Fort Duquesne. They asked the cautious
Franklin to contribute. He declined, pointing out that events
in war are very uncertain!
Braddock did listen to one suggestion from Washington,
which later military analysts consider tragically unsound, and
a contributing factor to the disaster which followed. On Wash
ington's advice, Braddock divided his force in half, and went
into the wilderness with the first half, the others to follow later.

When tiie attack came, and the troops broke and ran, it was
Washin^on 'who rallied them to prevent a worse rout.' Three
horses were shot from under him that day, and there were four
bullet holes in his coat, but he was untouched. Some historians
speculate that it was this engagement which brought home to
Washington tiie realization that British regulars could be
defeated.
Across the sea, in the streets of London and in the Houses of
Parliament, Washington's name was mentioned often and
favorably in the reports of Braddock's battle. However, his
mother understood'little of the'military life. While he was
with Braddock, she wote asking him to send her some butter,
and a Dutdi servant. He replied' in a stiffly respectful letter
that there were neither butter nor servants where he was.
August 14, 1755, Colonel Washington was appointed Com
mander of the Virginia forces. Some Virginians didn't like the
way affairs were conducted-among the troops, and it finally
developed into, quite a controversy, with people writing letters
to the newspapers, indirectly charging Washington with in
efficiency. There was constant conflict between the colonial
officers and,those who held regular commissions from the King;
and Washington's letters during this period show his growing
disenchantment with British officialdom, and his low opinion
of armchair generals.
On January 6, 1759, George Washington married Martha
Custis. How many of you know that this marriage was the
object of a considerable amount of criticism? It was said that
George had married Martha for her money, and years later
this charge was made even in England, by William Makepeace
Thackeray.
The year before his marriage, Washington was elected to the
Virginia House of Burgesses. During the next dozen years he
was busy with his private business and affairs, and we find
nothing to identify him actively with the growing restlessness
of the colonies under the British yoke. In later years, some of
WASHINGTON: AN APPRAISAL BY HIS ENEMIES
205
his critics charged that he was really pro-British until hos
tilities began. This charge is without foundation.
Under gathering clouds of rebellion, the First Continental
Congress met in Philadelphia September 5, 1774. Washington
was one of seven delegates from Virginia. The following year
he was in Philadelphia as a delegate to the Second Continental
Congress. One day in June 1775, the Adams cousins from Bos
ton, John and Samuel, met as they were going in the door, and
John said that he proposed to move that Congress adopt the
army then fighting the British around Boston, and that Colonel
George Washington be appointed its Commander in Chief.
Samuel Adams was not pleased. He objected, sajring that the
army was a New England army, and it wouldn't do to name a
wealthy Virginia aristocrat to command.
John Adams got up to make the nomination and was recog
nized by the presiding officer, John Hancock, who sat there,
smiling, while John Adams built up to naming the Commander
in Chief he had in mind. Hancock rather thought he was the
man. When John Adams nominated Washington, Hancock's
face fell. Washington, apparently startled, rose hurriedly and
left the room. His nomination was opposed by some delegates,
including Edmund Pendleton of Virginia. However, the fol
lowing day the appointment was made unanimous. Overnight,
he became the most prominent man in America.
During the Revolution Washington had to fight not only the
British, but envious, ambitious, plotting officers in his own
army, a Congress which at times seemed bent on obstructing
rather than furthering the war effort, and widespread indif
ference on the part of many of our citizens.
The opposition to Washington in Congress was led by John
Adams, the very man who had nominated him Commander in
Chief, and James Lovell, another delegate from Massachusetts.
Even Richard Henry Lee, long a friend of Washington, said
"Gates was needed to procure the indispensable change in our
army." Jonathan Trumbull declared that "a much exalted char
acter should make way for a general." Jonathan D. Sargent
206
bulletin of historical society op MONTGOMERY COUNTY
wrote "Thousands of lives and millions of property are yearly
sacrificed to the Insufficiency of our Commander in Chief —
Two Battles he has lost for us by two such Blunders as might
have disgraced a soldier of three months standing."
General Gates, victor over Burgoyne, was the military idol
of the day. He was ambitious, and envisioned himself super
seding Washington. He began to send his reports direct to
Congress, instead of to Washington, his commanding officer.
Conway, an Irishman who had served in the French army,
wangled a general's commission from Congress, over the heads
of many American colonels. He and Gates conspired to per
suade Congress to get rid of Washington. The Board of War
was reorganized, and Congress put Gates at its head, which
made him, in a sense, superior to Washington. Conway was
made Inspector General of the Army. Conway wrote Gates
a letter, in which he was reported to have said "Heaven has
been determined to save your country, or a weak general and
bad counsellors would have ruined it."
Washington had his troubles with another general, Charles
Lee. When Lee, who had been a Lieutenant-Colonel in the
British army, obtained a Major-General's commission from the
Continental Congress, Washington wrote: "He is the first
officer, in military knowledge and experience, we have in the
whole army." Lee held no such reciprocal regard for Washing
ton. He wrote Gates that Washington was "most damnably
deficient," and on another occasion said Washington was "not
fit to command a sergeant's guard." Captured by the British
at Basking Ridge, New Jersey, December 13, 1776, Lee was
later released and rejoined the Colonial forces at Valley Forge
as second in command to Washington. At his insistence Wash
ington gave him command of the attacking forces at the Battle
of Monmouth (in place of Lafayette, who originally had been
given that assignment). Washington came up as Lee's troops
were in wild retreat. There were some sharp words between
them. Lee, an inveterate letter writer, wrote Washington next
day demanding an apology. One thing led to another, and
WASHINGTON: AN APPRAISAL BY HIS ENEMIES
207
Washin^on preferred charges against him. He was courtmartialed, and found guilty of disobedience of orders, misbe
havior before the enemy, and disrespect to the Commander-inChief.
What was the British view of Washington during the Revo
lution? Among other things, they indulged in some dastardly
attempts to besmirch his reputation. A letter from Benjamin
Harrison to Washington was intercepted by the British in July
1775, and sent to London by General Gage. The text was ac
curately printed in the London Daily Advertiser of September
2, 1775; but when the September issue of The Gentleman's
Magazine appeared, a paragraph was added to the letter which
made it appear that Washington was in the habit of improperly
associating with female servants at Mount Vernon. The follow
ing year stories were published in London linhing Washington
with Mary Gibbons, a Tory sympathizer, who was quoted as
reporting Washington often said he "wished his hands were
clear of the dirty New Englanders." The main purpose of this
fabrication was of course to stir up trouble between New Eng
land and the South. The next year, 1777, there appeared in
London "Letters from George Washington to Several of His
Friends in the Year 1776," in which Washington is quoted as
saying "it is impossible we should succeed." These spurious
letters were the handiwork of John Randolph, the Loyalist
Attorney General of Virginia, and erstwhile good friend of
Washington.
Washington has been roundly criticized by later writers,
some of them quite knowledgeable in military affairs, for his
alleged deficiencies as Commander-in-Chief. Charles Francis
Adams, in his "Studies Military and Diplomatic," speaking of
the Battle of Long Island, tells us "... it is not easy to see how
military operations could have been carried on less skillfully
on the side of the Americans ... the record seems to show that
Washington was responsible." He tells us that Washington
failed to grasp Howe's strategy, didn't understand the use of
cavalry, and overestimated the importance of artillery.
208
BULLETIN OF HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY
On the other hand, T. S. Anderson in his great study of "The
Command of the Howe Brothers During the American Revo
lution" says, "In discussing the Howes 'we must also guard
against assuming that the opposition of Washington and his
army was of small importance. Much has been^ written in
recent years belittling Washington's military reputation. Very
possibly he is not entitled to rank with the great commanders
of history, but at certain moments critical for the American
cause, he showed a combination of fortitude and bold initiative
that made him, for the moment at least, a leader of the highest
order. Trenton and Germantown were ripostes of great daring
and decisive influence. Sir William Howe faced an opponent
in the field who made serious mistakes but who possessed
unusual tenacity and showed a capacity approaching genius
for denying the British the full fruits of victory."
But time grows short. Let us touch briefly on Washington
the President. In 1789 and 1792 every man was for him. In
1796 in every town and city of the land were men, mostly ad
mirers of France and vociferous sympathizers with the French
Revolution and the new republic, irate over their failure to
prevail upon Washington to take sides with the French against
the English, who denounced Washington as an aristocrat, a
monocrat, an Anglo-maniac. Following publication of his fare
well address one critic said: "His character having been founded
on false appearances, can only be respectable while it is not
known ... without any skill as a soldier he has crept into fame
by the places he has held and the success of the cause he
espoused. History will yet tear the page devoted to his praise."
Now a quick look at the other side of the coin, Chateaubriand
remarked to Washington himself: "It is less difficult to dis
cover the polar passage than to create a nation as you have
done." Napoleon announced his death to the French armies
with a general order decreeing that all flags were to be draped
in crepe for ten days; and just before setting off for his expe
dition to Egypt, Napoleon said to some Americans: "Posterity
will talk of Washington with reverence, as the founder of a
WASHINGTON: AN APPRAISAL BY HIS ENEMIES
209
great empire, when my name shall be lost in the vortex of revo
lution." Guizot, the French historian, in an essay published in
1839, said of Washington: "He had in a remarkable degree
those two qualities which, in active life, make men capable of
great things. He could confide strongly in his own views, and
act in conformity with them, without fearing to assume the
responsibility . . . Of all great men he was the most virtuous
and the most fortunate."
And what of the British, our erstwhile enemies? When the
news of Washington's death reached England, Lord Bridport,
commanding sixty ships of the line lying at Torbay, lowered his
flag half mast, every ship doing the same.
In the London Courier of January 24, 1800, we read: "The
whole range of history does not present to our view a
character upon which we can dwell with such entire and un
mixed admiration. The long life of General Washington is not
stained by a single blot. . . General Washington is not the idol
of a day, but the hero of ag^! . . . His perseverance overcame
every obstacle; his moderation conciliated every opposition;
his genius supplied every recourse . . . In the most arduous
moments of the contest, his prudent firmness proved the sal
vation of the cause which he supported ..
Listen now to the words of a British scholar and historian,
William Smyth, regius professor of history at Cambridge from
1808 to 1840. Said he of Washington: "To the historian . . .
There are few characters that appear so little to have shared
the common frailties and imperfections of human nature . . .
he never forgot that the end, and meaning, and aim of all jtist
government was the happiness of the people, and he never
exercised authority till he had first taken care to put himself
clearly in the right. His candour, his patience, his love of
justice were unexampled; and this, though naturally he was not
patient — much otherwise, highly irritable.
"He was ... by the nature of his faculties, his strength of
mind, and his principles, the man of all others to whom the
interests of his fellow creatures might with most confidence be
210

intrusted... The plaudits of his country were continually sound
ing in his ears, and neither the judgment nor the virtues of the
man were ever disturbed. Armies were led to the field with all
the enterprise of a hero, and then dismissed with all the equa
nimity of a philosopher. Power was accepted, was exercised, was
resigned, precisely at the moment and in the way that duty and
patriotism directed. Whatever was the difficulty, the trial, the
temptation, or the danger, there stoodthe soldier and the citizen,
eternally the same, without fear, and without reproach, and
there was the man who was not only at all times virtuous, but
at all times wise."

In Memoriam
LYMAN A. KRATZ
The members of the Historical Society of Montgomery County
mourn the death on March 8, 1964, of Lyman A. Kratz, of
Norxistown, a member of the Society since 1911, and a trustee
since 1922. In addition to active membership for over half a
century and to service on our board of trustees for over forty
years, Mr. Kratz had served as treasurer since 1937. As
treasurer he succeeded the late Dr. Willoughby H. Reed, who
had declined reelection.
Although 85 years of age at the time of his death, Mr. Kratz
continued to the very end his participation in the work of the
Society. On February 28,1964, only a few days before his death,
he sent a check to the Society in the amount of two thousand
dollars "as a contribution toward the continuing good work of
the Historical Society of Montgomery County."
Lyman A. Kratz was a native of Montgomery County, having
been born on December 16, 1878, in Hatfield Township, a son
of Isaac 0. Kratz and Mary Oberholtzer Kratz. He attended
the elementary schools in the community of his birth. He was
graduated from Perkiomen School with honors and in June 1902
was graduated from Millersville State Normal School. There
after he taught school near Colmar and then was employed by
the United States Customs Service in Philadelphia.
On December 24, 1907 he was married to Annie A. Alderfer,
and the following year he and Mrs. Kratz moved to Norristown,
where until 1928 he was associated with Sylvester H. Orr in the
real estate and insurance business. In 1928 upon tiie death of
Mr. Orr, Mr. Kratz formed his own business in Norristown as a
real estate and insurance broker, remaining active until 1952,
when he went into semi-retirement, his son Robert L. Kratz
succeeding him. Mr. Kratz continued his business interests for
some years thereafter.
304
IN MEMORIAM
3()5
In addition to his years of;semce in behalf of the Society,
Mr. Kratz was long a member of the governing boards of the
Haws Avenue Methodist Church, Norristown; the Norristown
Y.M.G.A., the Valley Forge Hotel, the Norristown Board of
Realtors, and several business corporations. He held member
ship in the Hancock Fire Company and several Masonic orders
and was a Trustee in Lodge #620, F. & A.M. for many years.
Mrs. Kratz survives her husband, as do his two daughters
and his son, Marian G., wife of Mark H. Clayton, Glenview,
Illinois; M. Eleanor, wife of Clarence E. Denoon, Jr., Wycombe,
Pennsylvania, and Robert L. Kratz, Norristown, Pennsylvania.
Fortunately, Mr. Robert Kratz continues his father's interest
in the work of the Society.
As Mr. Kratz was for fifty-three years a member of the
Historical Society of Montgomery County, his participation
in our corporate history goes back through more than five of
our eight decades. Always he was a diligent and able worker
and adviser. We momm the loss of one of our most devoted
members. We shall miss his kindly presence.

Recording Secretary
The Historical Society of Montgomery County has for its
object the preservation of the civil, political and religious
history of the county, as well as the promotion of the study
of history. The building up of a library for historical research
has been materially aided in the past by donations of family,
church and graveyard records; letters, diaries and other manu
script material. Valuable files of newspapers have also been
contributed. This public-spirited support has been highly
appreciated and is earnestly desired for the future.
Membership in the Society is open to all interested persons,
whether residents of the county or not, and all such persons
are invited to have their names proposed at any meeting, The
annual dues are $5.00; life membership, $100.00. Every mem
ber is entitled to a copy of each issue of The Bulletin, free.
Additional copies, $1.50 each.
Historical Building, 1654 DeKalb Street, Norristown, with
its library and museum, is open for visitors each week day
from 10 A.M. to 12 M. and 1 to 4 P.M., except Saturday after
noon. The material in the library may be freely consulted dur
ing these hours, but no book may be taken from the building.
To Our Friends
Our Society needs funds for the furthering of its work, its expansion,
its growth and development. This can very nicely be done through be
quests from members and friends in the disposition of their ^tate.
The Society needs more funds in investments placed at interest; the
income arising therefrom would give the Society an annual return to
meet its needs. Following is a form that could be used in the making
