how high was John Laurens though? (The people wanna know)
Idk man, but I know North and Hammie were juuuuuust a lil bit higher đ
as the #1 von steuben fan, can you reccomend me some good sources on his life? (would be great if they acknowledged his sexuality but im pretty desperate at this point)
love ya <3
AYYYY OKAY
First of all I'm so honored
So here's some book recommendations first:
Washington's Gay General
Okay, I admit, at first I wasn't sure about this, but it was actually pretty accurate. It did miss out some details that disappointed me, but overall an actually good source, so I recommend! (About 1-2 hour read)
The drillmaster of Valley Forge
This is a 352 page biography by Paul Lockhart. It's pretty standard and DOES mention his sexuality, think the style of John Laurens' biography if it wasn't written by a southern conservative. So yeah, I recommend! (About a day or two, if you have enough time.)
Du Ponceau's autobiography
Look, I KNOW everyone is talking about this. I KNOW everyone is hyping this up, but try it. Just- I- try it. Its mostly pretty boy trying to find out how America works, but Von Steuben is nonetheless prominent.
AND YUH!
EDIT: I AM BACKK!!!!
I also recommend "General Von Steuben" by John Palmer! It's actually great, but it does, unfortunately, dismiss his sexuality. This is, however, by far the best biography I've found so far.
(I'm also thinking of submitting some short little biography to some website or whatever, if you want more than lemme know, I am SO HONOURED to help. If you want more concise sources besides books, OF COURSE. I AM HERE TO HELP OMFG I LOVE YALLâĽď¸âĽď¸đ)
This is actually so accurate and there are actually so many historical references and also RICHARD HENRY LEE ABSOLUTELY KILLED ME AHSJSJSJSHSHHDDHDB (that's actually me)
