Biography - George Washington: Founding Father

His face is everywhere--from the portraits that hang in virtually every public building in America--to the images we see daily on our dollar bills. He is, of course, George Washington: gentleman, farmer, Revolutionary War hero, and first President of the United States. But who, really, was this man who has come to be known as "the father of his country"? GEORGE WASHINGTON: FOUNDING FATHER answers this provocative question by penetrating beyond Washington's sometimes stony veneer to reveal the true character of the man who was eulogized as: "...first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen."
