Nathanael Greene, George Washington's Most Trusted General

Green is as dangerous as Washington. I never feel secure when encamped in his neighborhood. He is vigilant, enterprising, and full of resources. Green was second to no one in enterprise, resource, sound judgment, promptitude of decision, and every other military talent. Since the command of the army falls upon you, have such entire confidence in your influence and abilities that I leave the conduct of it to your discretion.
