George Washington - A Biography of an American President

Joseph Greene

Summary

GEORGE WASHINGTON 
There is quite a bit of pedigree that comes with being the first in any role or position. Most specifically, you get to set the tone and expectations for those who come after you. As there is no expectation or previous failures for you to repeat, there is less pressure to uphold the reputation of someone who had held the position before you. 
Unfortunately, there is also a great deal of pressure that comes with being the first. When you are first there is no one there to come before you, to help guide you in the right direction or advise you when you are perhaps leading astray. 
One of the most prestigious firsts is the focus of this book. Inside, you will get a comprehensive look into the life, career, education, accomplishments, failures, death, and legacy of the first president of the United States, George Washington.
