reaganwaggoner's review against another edition
4.0
I love imagining the childhood of such a well-known and accomplished man. His foundation as a surveyor has particularly stuck with me - I wish that today education involved more hands-on application of various fields.
18th century America is fascinating, as is the upbringing of our first president.
Definitely worthy of re-reads.

Read aloud to Emma and Will. They enjoyed hearing about George Washington's life as a child, but I think they would have been even more enthralled if there was more about his adult life than the final chapter's quick overview. I always enjoyed hearing the lesser known details about the early life in this biography series, but I was a bit older when I read them too.
