MB Life of Washington PB

In this special edition of a vintage 1842 original, readers will go beyond today's simple footnotes of this great leader, to discover the man behind the title of "Father of Our Country." From letters and personal accounts, a fuller and more accurate picture emerges of a man who lived by, and was led by, a deep and abiding faith.

Written by Anna C. Reed, niece of a signer of the Declaration of Independence who had met Washington personally and knew many of his close acquaintances , she authored this amazing work for the ASSU (American Sunday School Union) just prior to 1850. Originally translated into over 20 languages, the book was among the most widely read biographies of Washington at that time.
