George Washington American Icon

The Father of our Country and perhaps the greatest statesman in America's history, George Washington is the quintessential American icon. But despite his legendary status, Washington the man remains an enigma. A magnificent horseman, a dancer of consummate grace, a skilled surveyor, Washington was to become commander-in-chief and supreme hero of the War of Independence, and first president of the United States of America. In this illuminating biographical sketch, scholar and author Albert Lafarge reveals the man behind the myth-a gentleman farmer "called from the plow to rule a great people like a second Cincinnatus."LaFarge, Albert is the author of 'George Washington American Icon' with ISBN 9789622176607 and ISBN 9622176607.
