Product Description
George Washington was the legendary colonial patriot who bravely led the revolution against Great Britain and helped the United States win its independence. But did you know that Washington almost set out to sea at the age of seventeen to fight for his future enemy the British navy? Or that he longed for a quiet, anonymous, and peaceful life as a farmer?

Luckily, fate intervened and Washington went on to become a military success. Washington possessed the wisdom, the courage, and the following among the underdog soldiers of the American colonies to lead thirteen different ragtag state militias to victory over the British army, one of the most powerful military forces in the world. And Washington delayed his retirement to farm life long enough to guide the new nation by serving two terms as Americas's first president.
