Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

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.

This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of General Washington, First President of the United States, Vol. 1 of 2 The Author of the present work begs to state that through many Lives of Washington have been already written, none have been done on the plant of the present, namely, that of making the subject of the Memoir, as far as possible, his own Biographer. Fortunately, for this purpose, the materials are in sufficient abundance. It is well know that it was General Washington's custom, from a very early period, to record, in the form of Journals, Diaries, and Letters to public bodies or private correspondents of which he kept copies, all the most important incidents and circumstances of his life, from day to day. Out of these memorials, it was thought that such extracts and passages might be selected and brought together, as to give to the work, to a considerable extent, the interest, the authority, and even the form, of an Autobiography. There is reason to believe, too, that it was the expectation and wish of Washington that his Life should be thus written, for in several letters he expresses his conviction that his memoirs could not be written a satisfactory or effectual manner without a large selection from his papers. On this plan, therefore, as far as practicable, the present life has been written. The extracts from the writings of Washington, which constitute so considerable a portion of this Biography, have been drawn from various sources.

Download or read book Life of George Washington Illustrated Biography of the first President of the United States the Commander in Chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States written by Washington Irving and published by e-artnow. This book was released on 2015-06-06 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This carefully crafted ebook: "Life of George Washington (Illustrated)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. George Washington (1732-1799) was the first President of the United States (1789-97), the Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. He presided over the convention that drafted the United States Constitution, which replaced the Articles of Confederation and remains the supreme law of the land. Washington was born into the provincial gentry of Colonial Virginia; his wealthy planter family owned tobacco plantations and slaves which he inherited; he owned hundreds of slaves throughout his lifetime, but his views on slavery evolved. He became a young but senior officer in the colonial militia during the first stages of the French and Indian War. He was chosen by the Second Continental Congress in 1775 to be commander-in-chief of the Continental Army in the American Revolution. Historians laud Washington for the selection and supervision of his generals, preservation and command of the army, coordination with the Congress, with state governors and their militia, and attention to supplies, logistics, and training. In battle, however, Washington was repeatedly outmaneuvered by British generals with larger armies. Washington Irving (1783-1859) was an American author, essayist, biographer, historian, and diplomat of the early 19th century. He is best known for his short stories 'Rip Van Winkle' and 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow' both of which appear in his book The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. His historical works include biographies of George Washington and Oliver Goldsmith, and several histories of 15th-century Spain, dealing with subjects such as the Moors and the Alhambra. Irving served as the U.S. ambassador to Spain from 1842 to 1846.
