The Life & Work of George Washington

This eBook has been formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices.George Washington is an American hero whose fame is not wholly accounted for by the record of his life. Like Lincoln he was infinitely greater than anything he did. A military genius, he wrested liberty from tyranny; a statesman, he helped evolve a stable government from political chaos; a patriot, he refused a crown. Wisdom, patience, tolerance, courage, consecration to the righteous cause animated his every act.Contents:Life of George Washington by Washington IrvingGeorge Washington by Woodrow WilsonJournal of My Journey Over the MountainsThe Journal of Major George Washington: Sent by the Hon.
