George Washington: A Biography

Washington Irving's Life of George Washington (published in five volumes in 1856-59) was the product of his last years and remains his most personal work.

The result is a book which is fascinating not only for its subject (the American Revolution), but also for how it reveals in illuminating detail the personality and humanity of a now ... [Read More]
