Customer Reviews

Amazing

So excellent. Enlightening story of his early life prior to the revolutionary war and the development of several of the skills he used then.

Early George Washington

A great story about George Washington's early career and exploits as a young officer given a difficult mission and how he overcame lots of obstacles to accomplish it.

readable, fast-moving

The book is readable, fast-moving, interesting, and tells a part of George Washington's life not normally told. It is historically pertinent because it relates the French-Indian wars to the American Revolution. It is interesting history while being also social commentary.

Duel In the Wilderness

A very well written book!! If you love history or even if you don't, read this book! It tells about young George Washington and his first assignment for this country which was still under Englands watchful eye. It tells of the amazing hardship and luck that George experienced at the age of 21,in the Ohio wilderness. This would make a great film!!! Lots of action and true life experience. Just READ this and you will be hooked on history forever.
