Book Description
Excerpt from Mary and Martha, the Mother and the Wife of George Washington So quiet, so unostentatious, so eminently domestic were the lives of the mother and the wife of George Washington that the biographer and the historian have rarely mentioned theirs as distinct from their relations as mother and wife of that illustrious man. For a faithful portraiture of the character and deeds of either of these notable women, the sum of trustworthy materials to be found in memoirs, annals, or records, is very meagre. And yet the lives of these two women were indissolubly associated with the earthly destiny of one of the grandest characters in the world's history: one as his maternal guide in his childhood and youth, and the other as his conjugal companion and counsellor in his manhood and exalted career. From 1848 until late in 1860, I was a frequent visitor at Arlington House, in Virginia, the pleasant seat of the late George Washington Parke Custis. It is situated upon high ground on the right bank of the Potomac River, overlooking the cities of Washington and Georgetown. Mr. Custis was a grandson of Martha Washington, and one of the two foster-children of her husband. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Memorials of Washington and of Mary, His Mother, and Martha, His Wife Patriots of every country will welcome with pride and gratification the following exquisite Sonnet from the pen of Francis Bennoch, the loved and gifted friend of Mary Russell Mitford, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Longfellow. It has been suggested that the two final lines would serve admirably as an inscription for the Pedestal of the National Monument. Washington. Before thy tomb, great Statesman, I have bowed In humble reverence, knowing well the zeal With which thou struggled for thy people's weal. Struggled and conquered! Never tempest cloud Could stay the lightning of thy heart, nor shroud That quenchless courage which made despots reel, And men, down-trodden, of thy prowess proud! And now I gaze with rapture on thy face So calm and deep in thought, transcending earth!) By Sharples limned, - where dignity, and grace, And force combined to give a Nation birth, With power to speak and liberate the race! Of Freedom's bravest leaders, there are none Whose fame o'ershadows thine, Heroic Washington! Francis Bennoch.
