This man's letters inspired Alexis Coe to compile a series of love lessons including "don't be a reckless flirt" in her 2020 biography of him. A “cradle-to-grave narrative” about this man includes a section on his love for Sally Fairfax and another on Tobias Lear. John Clement Fitzpatrick edited a 39-volume work of this man's writings, many of which were kept by his nephew Bushrod. It's not Alexander Hamilton, but Ron Chernow authored a 2010 history about this politician partly titled (*) A Life. The first biography of this politician, which depicts him as a “Demigod,” was written by Parson Weems and likely exaggerated an anecdote in which he damaged his father’s cherry tree. For 10 points, name this Founding Father whose command of the Continental Army was recorded in David McCullough's book 1776. ■END■
