Four pages, scattered foxing, a few small worm holes affect a few words but cause no loss of readability, nice condition.

Background: "General Anthony Wayne heads West in 1792" captures a critical historical juncture, marking the moment President George Washington called Revolutionary War hero Major General "Mad" Anthony Wayne out of retirement to assume command of the newly authorized Legion of the United States. Departing for Pittsburgh in the summer of 1792 following catastrophic American defeats against the Western Confederacy, Wayne went on to establish Legionville—the nation's very first formal basic training facility—where he systematically transformed an unorganized force into a disciplined standing army trained in wilderness maneuver and bayonet tactics. In historical print culture, philately, and antique ephemera, items specifically featuring this thematic motif or rare 1792 imprint dates (such as early 1790s newspaper reports, scarce 1920s first-day postal cover cachets, and period manuscript letters) derive exceptional value from their low surviving numbers and high historical gravity. They physically document the pivotal military turning point that protected the fragile American republic, enabling Wayne’s decisive 1794 victory at the Battle of Fallen Timbers and opening the Northwest Territory to westward expansion.
