George Washington died 200 years ago, but his story is as inspiring as ever. Through lively text and vivid watercolors, Cheryl Harness brings the man behind the monument to life. She presents a portrait of George Washington, dodging bullets in the French and Indian War, outfoxing the British during the American Revolution, and courting and marrying the wealthy widow Martha Curtis. In her fourth presidential biography, Harness shows the statesman's many sides -- a boy with a dream, an experimental farmer, and a man who loved to dance and socialize.
