Identifying George Greive
by Jeffrey L. Zvengrowski, Assistant Editor
Where possible, the editors at The Papers of George Washington write an "ID" (short biography) for each individual mentioned in Washington's correspondence. Any ID made appears in the annotation for the document in which the individual is first mentioned. One of the most compelling IDs in volume 31 of the Revolutionary War Series is that for George Greive. Like many IDs in The Papers of George Washington, Greive's is perforce truncated. However, a fairly expanded version of his career will be presented here simply because he was a rather important, somewhat shadowy, and highly intriguing figure in American and European history whose life briefly but interestingly intersected Washington's.
