Beschreibung:
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.
