Life of George Washington, Količina 1G. P. Putnam, 1860 - 821 strani Written in the unmistakable prose of Washington Irving, author of?The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and?Rip Van Winkle, Life of Washington is a detailed biography of the first President of the United States.?Captivated by the man whose name he was given, Irving spent most of the later years of his life researching the Revolutionary War hero and statesman. The in-depth biography includes individual chapters on each battle where General Washington was involved as well as lengthy passages about Mount Vernon, Washington's home. Completed just five months before Irving's death, the volume became a great addition to his canon and an accurate tribute to George Washington. |
