They are presented with a narrative on each page linking to historical events dance titles such as The Brandywine, Independence Cotillion, The Congress Minuet, Hessian Camp, Washington's Resignation, and The New Constitution. Others are more personal: Mount Vernon, Washington's Reel, The President and The Free Masons. Lady Washington and Saw You My Hero George commemorate Martha Washington.
