George Washington

"Known as the 'Father of Our Country,' George Washington lost his own father at the age of 11, was a surrogate father to Alexander Hamilton, and yet was never a father himself. In war and in peace, he left an unmistakable impression on his new nation in more ways than you know. 'George Washington: Soldier and Statesman!' tells the story of the United States' first president--from his rise as a soldier fighting for American freedom from Great Britain to his legacy as an impartial statesman who put his country before himself"--Provided by publisher.
