    Overview

    As modern revisionists seek to minimize or erase all traces of America's Christian heritage, a very rare vintage biography sheds a remarkable light of truth on the life of our first president, George Washington! Originally translated into over 20 languages within a few years, the book was among the most widely-read biographies of Washington at the time.

    In this special edition of a vintage 1842 original, readers will go beyond today's simple footnotes of this great leader, to discover the man behind the title of "Father of Our Country." From letters and personal accounts, a fuller and more accurate picture emerges of a man who lived by, and was led by, a deep and abiding faith.

    Written by Anna C. Reed, niece of a signer of the Declaration of Independence who had met Washington personally and knew many of his close acquaintances , she authored this amazing work for the ASSU (American Sunday School Union) just prior to 1850. Originally translated into over 20 languages, the book was among the most widely read biographies of Washington at that time.

    It was exciting learning about Washington’s life!
    Review by Samantha
    This book brings George Washington’s story to life in a way that feels both educational and exciting. It was so neat to refresh everything I had learned about him in my own schooling with my children. From his early years to the challenges of leading a new nation, every chapter kept our attention. The writing is easy to follow while still full of rich historical details, and it does a wonderful job highlighting Washington’s courage, leadership, and perseverance. A fantastic addition to any family library for teaching American history with depth and inspiration!
    Interesting addition to Language Lessons 10
    Review by SB
    Life of Washington is used in Language Lessons 10 each week for exercise four: Worldview & Literary Analysis. The book was originally published in 1842. I like that students have this exposure to older literature and learning about George Washington alongside their language art studies. Reading and working with this book weekly is manageable and not too overwhelming for students. It would also be a great read for anyone who enjoys learning more about American history.
    Enjoyed
    Review by Faith Trail Momma
    My son has been enjoying the story. We recently visited Washington D.C. and Mount Vernon and reading this book afterwards has been a great experience for him.
    Great story
