December 14, 1999, marked the 200th anniversary of the death of George Washington. This lavishly illustrated volume commemorates the life and legacy of America's Founding Father by bringing noteworthy scholars and authors together for a timely and topical consideration of Washington's enduring importance.
What They're Saying...
"Radical historian Charles Beard cited George Washington's wealth as proof that the U.S. Constitution was designed to preserve the colonial elite. But John Quincy Adams asked Americans to imagine 'a gentleman of one of the first fortunes of the continent...sacrificing his ease, and hazarding all in the cause of his country.' Perhaps American adults and students today will decide to mock
Washington's inestimable virtues and those of the country he fathered. But they cannot even make that decision until they walk with the patriot sage, and hear his voice. Thanks to this volume they can. Bravo!"
— Walter A. McDougall, Pulitzer prize winning author of The Heavens and the Earth : A Political History of the Space Age
