The Siege of Yorktown or Battle of Yorktown in 1781 was a decisive victory by a combined assault of American forces led by General George Washington and French forces led by General Comte de Rochambeau over a British Army commanded by General Lord Cornwallis. It proved to be the last major land battle of the American Revolutionary War, as the surrender of Cornwallis’s army (the second major surrender of the war) prompted the British government to eventually negotiate an end to the conflict. Dr. John Greenwood (1760-1819) was George Washington's personal dentist, often called the Father of Modern Dentistry, was responsible for designing Washington's famous dentures, which were not wood but carved from hippopotamus tusk. He invented the first known "dental foot engine" in 1790. He was the son of Isaac Greenwood, the first native-born American dentist. Good-Very Good condition. There are two light brown stains on the newspaper. This listing includes the complete entire original newspaper, NOT just a clipping or a page of it.
