"As editor of the award-winning Library of America collection of George Washington's
writings and a curator of the great man's original papers, John Rhodehamel has established
himself as an authority of our nation's preeminent founding father. Rhodehamel examines
George Washington as a public figure, arguing that the man--who first achieved fame
in his early twenties--is inextricably bound to his mythic status. Solidly grounded
in Washington's papers and exemplary in its brevity, this approachable biography is
a superb introduction to the leader whose name has become synonymous with America"--Google
