This thirteenth and final volume of the series devoted to the
papers of General Nathanael Greene includes correspondence to and
from Greene from the end of the Revolutionary War up to his death
in June 1786. It concludes with an epilogue and an addendum of
forty-six documents that have come to light since the volumes in
which they would have appeared have been published. The documents
presented here trace the dismissal of the Southern Army and details
of salutes offered to Greene by the citizens of Richmond,
Fredericksburg, and Alexandria, Virginia, and Annapolis and
Baltimore, Maryland, as he traveled back home. Greene spent three
years after the close of the war attempting to settle his wartime
debts, many of which were incurred as a result of guarantees he
made on behalf of army contractors. He sought assistance in New
York, Philadelphia, and Charleston; from the president of Congress;
and from Dutch investors, but was declined at every turn. Within a
year of relocating his family to Mulberry Grove plantation, near
Savannah, after finally reaching an agreement with one of his
principal creditors, Greene became ill. He died a week later, at
the age of forty-three.
