He has been called the father of our country for leading America through its early years. Washington also served in two major wars during his lifetime: the French and Indian War and the American Revolution--Amazon.com. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=809069 They were unlikely comrades-in-arms. One was a self-taught, middle-aged Virginia planter in charge of a ragtag army of revolutionaries, the other a rich, glory-seeking teenage French aristocrat. But the childless Washington and the orphaned Lafayette forged a bond as strong as any between father and son, a trust that saw them through betrayals, shifting political alliances, and the trials of war. Their friendship continued throughout their lives. Lafayette inspired widespread French support for a struggling young America and personally influenced Washingtons antislavery views. Washingtons enduring example as general and statesman guided Lafayette during Frances own revolution years later. Using personal letters and other key documents, author Clary offers a rare glimpse of the American Revolution, including intimate portraits of such major figures as Alexander Hamilton, Benedict Arnold, and Benjamin Franklin. The result is a remarkable, little-known epic of friendship, revolution, and the birth of a nation.--From publisher description.--Source other than the Library of Congress. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=758673 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=750571 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=696651 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=758703 Explains the origin of this holiday and how and why it is observed. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=741112 An introduction to the estate of George Washington called Mount Vernon, where it is located, and its importance in history. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=731290 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=731372 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=741142 Describes why, where, and how the Washington Monument was built, and what it means to our country. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=731490 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=741217 A biography of George Washington from his boyhood in Virginia, through his work as a land surveyor, planter, soldier, and as the president who set a high standard for all who would follow. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=750624 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1186177 Using their magic tree house, Jack and Annie travel back to the time of the American Revolution and help General George Washington during his famous crossing of the Delaware River. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=342498 Although the friendship between George Washington and James Madison was eclipsed in the early 1790s by the alliances of Madison with Jefferson and Washington with Hamilton, their collaboration remains central to the constitutional revolution that launched the American experiment in republican government. Washington relied heavily on Madisons advice, pen, and legislative skill, while Madison found Washingtons prestige indispensable for achieving his goals for the new nation. Together, Stuart Leibiger argues, Washington and Madison struggled to conceptualize a political framework that would respond to the majority without violating minority rights. By examining closely Washington and Madisons correspondence and personal visits, Leibiger shows how a marriage of political convenience between two members of the Chesapeake elite grew into a genuine companionship fostered by historical events and a mutual interest in agriculture and science. The development of their friendship and eventual estrangement mirrors in fascinating ways the political development of the early Republic.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=361048 Provides examples of leadership from the life of George Washington.
