The Life of George Washington

This book by John Marshall (Third Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court) was the first major biography of our country’s first President. Written within eight years of Washington’s death, this book has been described as “to this day, the fullest and most trustworthy treatment of that period from the conservative point of view.” The editors’ foreword and notes, together with maps of major battle campaigns not included in the original edition, make this edition especially attractive for classroom or homeschooling use.
