Publisher's Synopsis

Excerpt from Rules of Conduct: Diary of Adventure, Letters, and Farewell Addresses

The story of the life of George Washington is the proud possession of every American boy. All the outward events w)f that wonderful career the young hero-worshipper can recount, from the breaking-in of the pet colt somewhere about 1738 on the lawn of the Virginian plantation to the taking of the oath of office as President in New York in 1789. He knows by heart the exciting adventures of the young Washington during his three years' survey of the Virginian wilderness; he admires the Major Washington who so gallantly bore the commission of Governor Dinwiddle to warn the French off the Ohio lands and afterward saved the army of the obstinate Braddock from total defeat in the fight for Fort Duquesne. He knows how his hero resented the Stamp Act, and stood unflinchingly for justice in the Continental Congress; how he was elected Commander-in-Chief of the army and came to Cambridge to receive its leadership under the elm which still bears his name.
