Description
"George Washington did not throw a silver dollar across a mile-wide river, but he did suppress the first rebellion against the government of his newly formed nation. In Washington's case, the true stories are more interesting than the myths. And many people today may not realize that, in the end, the way he left public life was just as important as anything he did in it" --
