Washington s Birthday Various

George Washington is so often seen as that stern man in a wig frozen in stance for all of history. Early historians painted him as a demigod in a white wig. This book has collected the essays, orations poems, stories, and exercises, which best exhibit the modern conception of Washington. The book also has selections from Washington"s speeches and letters. Early editors of his writings often altered his words. For example, in his letters such a natural phrase as "one hundred thousand dollars will be but a flea-bite" was changed to "one hundred thousand dollars will be totally inadequate." This is an excellent collection of material about the first President of the United States. . Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге Washington s Birthday (Various)
