Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from On the Trail of Washington: A Narrative History of Washington´s Boyhood and Manhood, Based on His Own Writings, Authentic Documents and Other Authoritative Information For more than a century Washington was exalted as a model of manners and morals - and portrayed as a prig; he was idealized as a hero - and rendered unreal; he was glorified as the father of his country - and denied all human fellowship with his kin; he was invested with every virtue - and divested of all virile character. That he survived in the affections of his people is the best demonstration of his true greatness. Of recent years, however, there has been a notable effort to depict the man as be really was - a man with good red blood in bis veins, good common sense in bis head, good kindly feeling in his heart, and a good honest laugh.
