About This Book
From his heroics in the Revolutionary War to his role in the Constitutional Convention and his unanimous election to two terms as president, there is no questioning George Washington's importance to the birth of our nation. Using primary source material including Washington's own journals and writings, John Rosenburg rounds out his biographical trilogy of Washington's life by bringing the period to life and underscoring the emotion and gravity of the time. As in the previous books, Washington emerges as a person as well as the hero that he truly was.
