This review is from: George Washington, a biography, improved 9/22/2010 (Kindle Edition)

This volume gives a short factual bio of the great man. The author dispels some of the myths of the generals childhood and paints a picture of a man who was greater than life. Published in 1922 the book is somewhat dated in language but I believe that the story is told better than it would be by modern revisionist historians.

5.0 out of 5 stars George Washington was a bad dude, March 7, 2011

Customer - See all my reviews

This review is from: George Washington (Kindle Edition)

I wonder why the free verson of this book appears below the ones for $3... in any case this is a wonderful read. Did you know George Washington was a millionaire be the time he was twenty? Tragic reasons behind that. How many times do you think George Washington cheated death? Plenty. An excellent story of an amazing man. Get it now!

"Hobbs" - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: George Washington, a biography, improved 9/22/2010 (Kindle Edition)

If you read Teddy Roosevelt's History of the United States first it will make more sense. Could be better written, author alludes to information but doesn't cover it in detail. Unfortunate in that with one or two sentences you would know what he is talking about rather than having to research it in wiki or google. Worth a read even with that criticism.
