Book received from Edelweiss and NetGalley.

This is a slightly different take on George Washington and the various things that happened in his life that helped shape him as a person. The writer is a descendant of George Washington and seems to be able to relate to our first President as a person because of it. He focuses on how Washington's strength, the way he was able to move about in polite society, and his sportsmanship helped him attain what became our highest level of government, with little in the way of formal schooling. It was a different look at our first President and I enjoyed the read.
