Description

Do you want to learn about George Washington but don’t have the time or patience to read a thick book? Then this is the short and concise book for you!!

George Washington, the revolutionary war hero, and first president of the United States has risen to the level of an American legend. This one-dimensional view of the “founding father” turns out to be short sighted. For this complex man of the soil from Virginia, though of limited formal education, would change the very destiny of nations. Few knew Washington as well as did his Secretary of State, Thomas Jefferson, who wrote of Washington long after his death, “He was indeed, in every sense of the words, a wise, a good and a great man..” Just one of his many achievements would make him a notable American, but his accomplishments were many:
-- Officer in the Virginia Militia during the opening battles of the French and Indian War.
-- Top patriot leader in the Virginia House of Burgesses.
-- Delegate from Virginia to the First Continental Congress.
-- Commander of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War.
-- President of the Constitutional Convention of 1787.
-- First President of the United States. During his two terms he led the infant republic to form a stable federal government that has lasted over two centuries.
