Book Description
Excerpt from The Heroic Life of General George Washington, First President of the United States: Illustrated in Black and White and With Colored Plates The young reader may think these particulars are unnecessary, and be in a hurry to hear about George Washington. All in good time. We wish you, boys and girls, to see the position of affairs at that period, and what led up to the great War of Independence, and how God in His Providence had prepared a man for the time and place, and that man George Washington. Of the thirteen Colonies, the greatest and richest and most populous was the Colony of Virginia, owing to the cultivation of large crops of tobacco, which was raised on great farms and sent to the English markets. These farms were called plantations and their owners were called planters. The father of George Washington, whose name was Augustine Washing ton, owned a large plantation at Bridge's Creek, on the Potomac, in West moreland County, Va. Here he lived with his wife, Mary, in a comfortable, plain, old-fashioned Southern home with sloping roof, broad eaves, a big chimney, and a broad veranda in front. His tobacco farm, or plantation, stretched for more than a mile along the Potomac. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Life of George Washington
George Washington
Author: James MacGregor Burns
Publisher: Times Books
ISBN: 1466860561
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
A premier leadership scholar and an eighteenth-century expert define the special contributions and qualifications of our first president Revolutionary hero, founding president, and first citizen of the young republic, George Washington was the most illustrious public man of his time, a man whose image today is the result of the careful grooming of his public persona to include the themes of character, self-sacrifice, and destiny. As Washington sought to interpret the Constitution's assignment of powers to the executive branch and to establish precedent for future leaders, he relied on his key advisers and looked to form consensus as the guiding principle of government. His is a legacy of a successful experiment in collective leadership, great initiatives in establishing a strong executive branch, and the formulation of innovative and lasting economic and foreign policies. James MacGregor Burns and Susan Dunn also trace the arc of Washington's increasing dissatisfaction with public life and the seeds of dissent and political parties that, ironically, grew from his insistence on consensus. In this compelling and balanced biography, Burns and Dunn give us a rich portrait of the man behind the carefully crafted mythology.
