George Washington

- Man and Monument

Bag om George Washington

George Washington, the USA's first president, was the one indispensible man in both the nation's independence and the formulation of its government. That said, he is too often seen as a stick figure--a man with no formal education, reliant to a great degree on others for his ideas and understanding--often reduced to the story about chopping down the cherry tree or seen only as the face of President's Day. George Washington: Man and Monument fleshes out this picture for students of the Early Republic, showing how Washington, as a young man, developed a set of core values that shaped the man he later became. Using primary sources culled from the Papers of George Washington, as well as other sources, along with six succinct chapters, students can explore what influences helped shape the man--as a soldier, a statesman, and in his private life.
