Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mary and Martha, the Mother and the Wife of George Washington So quiet, so unostentatious, so eminently domestic were the lives of the mother and the wife of George Washington that the biographer and the historian have rarely mentioned theirs as distinct from their relations as mother and wife of that illustrious man. For a faithful portraiture of the character and deeds of either of these notable women, the sum of trustworthy materials to be found in memoirs, annals, or records, is very meagre. And yet the lives of these two women were indissolubly associated with the earthly destiny of one of the grandest characters in the world's history: one as his maternal guide in his childhood and youth, and the other as his conjugal companion and counsellor in his manhood and exalted career. From 1848 until late in 1860, I was a frequent visitor at Arlington House, in Virginia, the pleasant seat of the late George Washington Parke Custis. It is situated upon high ground on the right bank of the Potomac River, overlooking the cities of Washington and Georgetown. Mr. Custis was a grandson of Martha Washington, and one of the two foster-children of her husband. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

It has been suggested that the two final lines would serve admirably as an inscription for the Pedestal of the National Monument. Washington. Before thy tomb, great Statesman, I have bowed In humble reverence, knowing well the zeal With which thou struggled for thy people's weal. Struggled and conquered! Never tempest cloud Could stay the lightning of thy heart, nor shroud That quenchless courage which made despots reel, And men, down-trodden, of thy prowess proud! And now I gaze with rapture on thy face So calm and deep in thought, transcending earth!) By Sharples limned, - where dignity, and grace, And force combined to give a Nation birth, With power to speak and liberate the race! Of Freedom's bravest leaders, there are none Whose fame o'ershadows thine, Heroic Washington! Francis Bennoch.

Book Synopsis The Widow Washington by : Martha Saxton
Download or read book The Widow Washington written by Martha Saxton and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2019-06-11 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An insightful biography of Mary Ball Washington, the mother of our nation's father The Widow Washington is the first life of Mary Ball Washington, George Washington’s mother, based on archival sources. Her son’s biographers have, for the most part, painted her as self-centered and crude, a trial and an obstacle to her oldest child. But the records tell a very different story. Mary Ball, the daughter of a wealthy planter and a formerly indentured servant, was orphaned young and grew up working hard, practicing frugality and piety. Stepping into Virginia’s upper class, she married an older man, the planter Augustine Washington, with whom she had five children before his death eleven years later. As a widow deprived of most of her late husband’s properties, Mary struggled to raise her children, but managed to secure them places among Virginia’s elite. In her later years, she and her wealthy son George had a contentious relationship, often disagreeing over money, with George dismissing as imaginary her fears of poverty and helplessness. Yet Mary Ball Washington had a greater impact on George than mothers of that time and place usually had on their sons. George did not have the wealth or freedom to enjoy the indulged adolescence typical of young men among the planter class. Mary’s demanding mothering imbued him with many of the moral and religious principles by which he lived. The two were strikingly similar, though the commanding demeanor, persistence, athleticism, penny-pinching, and irascibility that they shared have served the memory of the country’s father immeasurably better than that of his mother. Martha Saxton’s The Widow Washington is a necessary and deeply insightful corrective, telling the story of Mary’s long, arduous life on its own terms, and not treating her as her son’s satellite.

This book was released on 2023-12-16 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mothers of famous men survive only in their sons. This is a rule almost as invariable as a law of nature. Whatever the aspirations and energies of the mother, memorable achievement is not for her. No memoir has been written in this country of the women who bore, fostered, and trained our great men. What do we know of the mother of Daniel Webster, or John Adams, or Patrick Henry, or Andrew Jackson, or of the mothers of our Revolutionary generals? This book is dedicated to Mary Ball Washington, the second wife of Augustine Washington, a planter in Virginia and the mother of George Washington, the first President of the United States. Contents: Mary Washington's English Ancestry The Ball Family in Virginia Coat Armor and the Right to bear it Traditions of Mary Ball's Early Life Revelations of an Old Will Mary Ball's Childhood Good Times in Old Virginia Mary Ball's Guardian and her Girlhood Young Men and Maidens of the Old Dominion The Toast of the Gallants of her Day Her Marriage and Early Life Birthplace of George Washington The Cherry Tree and Little Hatchet The Young Widow and her Family Betty Washington, and Weddings in Old Virginia Defeat in War: Success in Love In and Around Fredericksburg Social Characteristics, Manners, and Customs A True Portrait of Mary Washington Noon in the Golden Age Dinners, Dress, Dances, Horse-races The Little Cloud The Storm Mary Washington in the Hour of Peril Old Revolutionary Letters The Battle-ground France in the Revolution "On with the Dance, let Joy be unconfined" Lafayette and our French Allies In Camp and at Mount Vernon Mrs. Adams at the Court of St. James The First Winter at Mount Vernon The President and his Last Visit to his Mother Mary Washington's Will; her Illness and Death Tributes of her Countrymen
