Title: History Directly from the Mouth of George Washington Himself
Review: I'm not a big reader, but purchased this book because of the vast number of sources used in compiling this book. What I found was a book that was entirely too interesting to use simply as a reference and ended up reading it in just a few short weeks. The book serves as a great history lesson on the life of Washington and includes several quotes and writings from Washington himself, as well as Jefferson, Adams and Hamilton just to name a few. The books follows Washington all the way from Birth to Death and highlights not only his greatest achievements, but also his many admitted shortcomings and errors thoughout his life. The book does wonder off of the subject of Washington at times for a whole chapter, but typically only to drive home a point in the chapters to follow. I highly recommend this book as well as the others in the American Classic Series. They truely offer a glimpse into the true founders of this country.
