關於這本電子書

Get to know the humble Revolutionary War general who became the first U.S. President!

They said I was a leader, brave, honest, fearless, and just. My thoughts of myself were much more modest. Some Americans wanted to make me a king instead of a president. I refused because I knew that the strength of the United States and the value of liberty were more powerful than any one person—even me. I am George Washington.

Celebrated war hero George Washington used his progressive ideals to become the first President of the United States, earning the nickname “Father of his Country.” Young readers will be inspired by Washington’s heroic journey to make America a better place in this biography featuring:

• illustrations throughout
• a timeline
• an introduction to the other people you’ll meet in the book, including Helen’s amazing teacher and the men who fell in love with her
• maps
• sidebars
• a top ten list of important things to know, and more
