This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of George Washington, Commander in Chief of the American Army Through the Revolutionary War, and the First President of the United States The following publication originated in the author's wish to place within reach of the great body of his countrymen authentic biography of General Washington. Judge Marshall, in his valuable life of this illustrious patriot, has embraced not only the settlement and general history of the North American Colonies, but also the political history of the United States. His work is therefore necessarily too expensive to be obtained by all classes of American people. The writer of these memoirs apprehended, that by publishing the Life of Washington in one volume, reasonable in its price, he should enable those of his fellow citizens, who are not in possession of Marshall, to leave to their posterity the memorial of a man who was pre-eminently distinguished as a soldier and statesman. General Washington was from his youth devoted to his country; his character therefore cannot be pourtrayed, without bringing into view many important public transactions. The plan of the writer has been to notice no individual or event further than was necessary to display the principal character. He has made Judge Marshall his leading authority for facts, and has in some measure followed him in the order of events. The histories of the war by Doctors Ramsay and Gordon, and several original writings, have been consulted; but he trusts that greater liberty has not been taken with any of them than is fair and honourable.

This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Life and Death, Virtues and Exploits of General George Washington: Faithfully Taken From Authentic Documents This truly great man, the third son of a Mr. Agustin Washington, was born in Westmoreland county, Virginia, on the 22d day of February, 1732. He was the first son of a second marriage; a circumstance which ought, in all conference, to quiet the minds of those who have their doubts with respect to the lawfulness of second marriages. His education was of the private and proper sort. Dead languages, pride, and pedantry, had no charms for him who always preferred sense to found, the kernel to the shell. A grammatical knowledge of his mother-tongue - the mathematics - geography - history - natural and moral philosophy, were the valuable objects of his youthful studies: And in these he made the proficiency of one who always loved to go deep. At school he was remarkable for good nature and candour; qualities which acquired him so entirely the hearts of his young companions, that a reference to him was the usual mode of deciding all differences. After leaving his tutor he acted, for a few years, as a county surveyor, in which profession, his industry, as also the neatness and regularity with which he did every thing, were universally admired. In 1753, the French and Indians began to make inroads on our western frontiers along the Ohio. Governor Dinwiddie was very desirous to get a letter of remonstrance to their commander in chief. He had applied to several young gentlemen of his acquaintance; but they were all so exceedingly tender of their night-caps, that they could not be prevailed on, for love or money, to venture out among the savages. Washington happening to hear of it, instantly waited on his excellency, and offered his services, but not without being terribly afraid lest his want of a beard should go against him. However, the governor was so charmed with his modesty ad manly air, that he never asked him a syllable about his age, but, after thanking him for "a noble youth" and insisting on his taking a glass of wine with him, slipped a commission into his hand.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Heroic Life of General George Washington, First President of the United States: Illustrated in Black and White and With Colored Plates The young reader may think these particulars are unnecessary, and be in a hurry to hear about George Washington. All in good time. We wish you, boys and girls, to see the position of affairs at that period, and what led up to the great War of Independence, and how God in His Providence had prepared a man for the time and place, and that man George Washington. Of the thirteen Colonies, the greatest and richest and most populous was the Colony of Virginia, owing to the cultivation of large crops of tobacco, which was raised on great farms and sent to the English markets. These farms were called plantations and their owners were called planters. The father of George Washington, whose name was Augustine Washing ton, owned a large plantation at Bridge's Creek, on the Potomac, in West moreland County, Va. Here he lived with his wife, Mary, in a comfortable, plain, old-fashioned Southern home with sloping roof, broad eaves, a big chimney, and a broad veranda in front. His tobacco farm, or plantation, stretched for more than a mile along the Potomac. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

An affectionate mother continued to impress those principles of religion and virtue on his tender mind, which constituted the solid basis of a character that was maintained throughout all the trying vicissitudes of an eventful life. But his education was limited to subjects strictly useful, not even extending to foreign languages. At the age of eighteen, he was appointed a surveyor in the western part of the northern neck of Virginia; and, in that office, acquired such information respecting vacant lands, and formed those opinions concerning their future value, which afterwards contributed greatly to the increase of his fortune.

I have also made frequent use of Washing ton's Writings, as published by Mr. Sparks a care ful collation of many of them with the originals hav ing convinced me of the general correctness of the collection, and of the safety with which it may be re lied upon for historical purposes; and I am happy to bear this testimony to the essential accuracy of one whom I consider among the greatest benefactors to our national literature; and to whose writings and researches I acknowledge myself largely indebted throughout my work.
