George Washington as he's rarely seen. Besides being a general and the first president of the United States, George Washington was also a farmer. His efforts to create a self-sufficient farm at Mount Vernon, Virginia, mirrored his struggle to form a new nation. Excerpts from Washington's writings are featured throughout the book, which also includes a timeline, resource section, as well as essays on Washington at Mount Vernon and his thoughts on slavery. Both illustrator and author worked closely with the staff of Mount Vernon Estate & Gardens to render an accurate portrait of Farmer George at work.

Beautiful well written book about G Washingtons life as a farmer. Kept my 13 year sons interest. The book has beautiful painted illustrations and the audio was perfect and very well read! Highly recommend for students, history lovers and families.

Wonderful!
