Reed is a detailed genealogical and historical account of John Gray, the last surviving soldier of George Washington’s Revolutionary Army, including family lineage, historical context, and related patriotic themes associated with America’s extraordinary expansion and bewildering participation in numerous unavoidable military conflicts.
