Between 1753, when he was commissioned as a major of Virginia militia, and 1775, when the second Continental Congress named him Commander-in-Chief of all colonial military forces, George Washington rose from anonymity as a minor landowner and surveyor to become America's first national hero. With little military training he led the thirteen fledgling colonies through six years of grueling war against formidable British forces, steered the proceedings of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, and served two terms as the first president of the United States. His accomplishments were so stunning and he was so revered that by the end of the war some of his generals urged him to install himself as king, an idea he looked upon with "abhorrence," calling the very thought "painful." Nor would he consider standing for a third term as president. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Many erudite authors have written bookstores worth of volumes about this man, but very few have been brave enough to write a "Reader's Digest" study of him. We have two large bookcases to testify to this, but this is the one I would recommend to share with others because it would not cause them to give an eyeroll. This one has the research to back it up and is a good read for those beginning their Revolutionary War Reenacting ventures.
