Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Washington´s Birthday The popular idea of Washington has recently begun to veer away from the vision of an eighteenth century demigod in a wig, - an old-fashioned statue in dusky bronze, stem and forbidding. We are swinging around toward the idea of a loveable, fallible, very human personality with humor, a hot temper, and a genuine love of pleasure. Accordingly, in gathering material for this book the editor has passed by those earlier writers who are mainly responsible for this distorted view; and he has aimed to gather here the essays, orations, poems, stories, and exercises which best exhibit the modern conception of Washington; together with a selection from his own writings, and the finest of the elder tributes to the memory of our greatest National Hero.
