Description

1856 Life of George Washington by Jared Sparks American Military Revolutionary WAR

“Associate with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for it is better to be alone than in bad company.”

– George Washington

Like many 19th-century accounts of the life of the first American president, Jared Sparks’ ‘Life of George Washington’ covers his early life, education, ascension into American politics, farming and horticulture, his marriage, and his role in military and frontier engagements. Sparks focuses on battles between Indians and Washington’s troops, encountering savages, his speeches and letters during the Revolutionary War, a descriptive account of the sufferings of the Army at Valley Forge, the relationship between Washington and Marquis de Lafayette, and much, much more.
