Description
1860 George Washington 1ed Life of American Revolutionary War First US President
“The Life of George Washington” by Edward Everett is a comprehensive exploration of the life and accomplishments of Americas first president, George Washington. Everett was approached to write this biography after the prominent British historian, Lord Macaulay, suggested that the life of Washington would best be documented by an American. While there are numerous detailed accounts of Washingtons life, Everetts work is distinct due to its inclusion of not only Washingtons military and political achievements but also his personal and domestic life. Intended primarily for a 19th-century British audience unfamiliar with intimate details of American history, Everett offers insights from other foundational sources and places special emphasis on Washingtons character and the legacy he left behind. The book not only chronicles the pivotal moments of Washingtons life but also provides broader context by delving into Englands broader military history, including battles and campaigns beyond Washingtons era.
Notable contents include:
Washingtons military campaigns during the French and Indian War and the Revolutionary War, including key battles.
Washingtons complicated relationship with slavery, including his ownership of slaves and evolving views on the institution over the course of his life including his release of his slaves in his Last Will and Testament.
Washingtons interactions with Native American tribes and his efforts to set up a strong federal government.
Washingtons relationships with family, friends, and fellow Founding Fathers.
