Washingtons death in 1799 dealt a blow to public morale. For three decades, Americans had depended on his leadership. Now, they desperately needed to believe that Washington would continue to be there for them--thus began his immortalization. Historian Lengel shows how the late president and war hero continued to serve his nation on two levels: the public Washington evolved into a symbol as Father of His Country, while the private man remained always just out of reach. As Lengel shows, the contrasting urges to deify Washington and to understand him as a man have produced tensions in every generation. As some exalted him, others sought to bring him down to earth, creating a series of competing mythologies that depicted Washington as every sort of human being imaginable.--From publisher description. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1202784 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1116443 Follows Caty and her daughter Cornelia through the latter half of the eighteenth century as they mingle with the heroes of the Revolutionary War, discovering that a womans only means of power, flirting, can cause trouble and confusion. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1191122 During the Revolutionary War, a young boy volunteers for a dangerous misson.

Our first president has long been considered a stoic hero, holding himself above the rough-and-tumble politics of his day. Now historian John Ferling peers behind that image, carefully burnished by Washington himself, to show us a leader who was not only not above politics, but a canny infighter--a master of persuasion, manipulation, and deniability. In the War of Independence, Washington used his skills to steer the Continental Army through crises that would have broken less determined men; he squeezed out rivals and defused dissent. Ending the war as a national hero, Washington allowed himself to be pressed into the presidency, guiding the nation with the same brilliantly maintained pose of selfless public interest. Ferling argues that not only was Washington one of Americas most adroit politicians--the proof of his genius is that he is no longer thought of as a politician at all.--From publisher description. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=739605 This series provides comprehensive information on the presidents of the Unites States and places each within his historical and cultural context.
