short in depth biography,

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.

George Washington was a bad dude,
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!

If you haven't read this you know nothing of Washington,

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.

2nd. That these powers (as the appointment of all rulers will for ever arise from, and at short, stated intervals recur to, the free suffrage of the people), are so distributed among the legislative, executive, and judicial branches, into which the general government is arranged, that it can never be in danger of degenerating into a monarchy, an oligarchy, an aristocracy, or any other despotic or oppressive form, so long as there shall remain any virtue in the body of the people.

That party disputes and personal quarrels are the great business of the day whilst the momentous concerns of an empire--a great and accumulated debt--ruined finances--depreciated money--and want of credit (which in their consequences is the want of everything) are but secondary considerations, and postponed from day to day--from week to week as if our affairs wear the most-promising aspect.
