(August
15, 2023 | 9781419743726), author *Josh Trujillo *and illustrator *Levi
Hastings* tell the true story of one of the most important, but largely
forgotten, military leaders of the American Revolution, Baron Von Steuben,
who brought much-needed knowledge to the inexperienced and ill-prepared
Continental Army. As its first Inspector General, Von Steuben created an
organizational framework for the US military, which included writing the
Blue Book guide that became the standard for training American soldiers for
more than a century.

Von Steuben was also, by all accounts, a flamboyant homosexual in an era
when the term didn’t even exist. Beginning with Von Steuben’s career in the
Prussian Army, Trujillo explores his recruitment by Benjamin Franklin, his
work alongside General George Washington at the Battle of Valley Forge, and
his eventual decline into obscurity. Diving deep into the hidden parts of
American history Trujillo and Hastings impart both the intricacies of queer
history and the importance of telling stories that highlight queer
experiences in glorious fashion with WASHINGTON'S GAY GENERAL.
