Description
Details

Inventing George Washington

Opportunists and well-meaning storytellers have capitalized on the American public’s fascination with George Washington ever since he took command of the Continental Army in 1775. In the years that followed, a cottage industry sprung up to meet the intense public demand for information about Washington, creating a seemingly endless stream of stories, artifacts and documents purporting to capture the “real” man. Inventing George Washington traces the immortalization of this towering historical figure.

Historian Edward G. Lengel shows how the president continued to serve his nation even after his death, and his insightful book offers a fresh look at America’s first Founding Father and the creation of his mythos.
