About this audiobook
George Washington as he's rarely seen. Besides being a general and the first president of the United States, George Washington was also a farmer. His efforts to create a self-sufficient farm at Mount Vernon, Virginia, mirrored his struggle to form a new nation. Excerpts from Washington's writings are featured throughout the book, which also includes a timeline, resource section, as well as essays on Washington at Mount Vernon and his thoughts on slavery. Both illustrator and author worked closely with the staff of Mount Vernon Estate Gardens to render an accurate portrait of Farmer George at work.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book reveals the farmer in George Washington. Washington was really into farming in a big way. This book outlines just how far he went in his farming pursuits. It's an extremely thorough book. Every sentence seems to be meticulously fact-checked. It also doesn't hide the fact that Washington was a slave owner. It is a very honest portrayal.
