George Washington and the Jews

Historian Hirschfeld examines the American Jewish population when the country was new, the participation of Jews in the Revolution, and the context, underpinnings, and significance of the religious tolerance promoted by the first president. This is the second volume of a trilogy, the first on George Washington and slavery, the third (scheduled for 2008), on George Washington and the Indians. Distributed by Associated University Presses.
