Who was simply George Washington? You almost certainly know him as the first leader of america, the commander of the Continental military who led North american farmers and innkeepers in a victorious eight-year war against the English. But where have he get his armed service experience? Why was chosen to take command word of the military? Why was he really the only American president ever to be elected unanimously (twice!), and have he really chop down that cherry tree as a youngster? In this reserve entitled George Washington: First Guardian of North american Liberty by author Michael Crawley, you'll follow the course of George Washington's life, from his birth at Ferry Farm in Virginia in 1732, to his death at his Support Vernon house in 1799. You'll learn how his early popularity as a hero of the France and Indian Battle, and his illustrious matrimony to a wealthy widow, resulted in this farm guy becoming one of the most crucial men in Virginia, a delegate at the Continental Congress where in fact the Founders of America collected to decide the country's fate. The first guardian of American liberty looks serene in his portraits, but he didn't always go above the fray. Washington fought for what he assumed in, and his political convictions shocked contemporaries like Thomas Jefferson. Does one really know what kind of country George Washington wished America to be?
