Rhodehamel examines George Washington as a public figure, arguing that the man--who first achieved fame in his early twenties--is inextricably bound to his mythic status. Solidly grounded in Washington's papers and exemplary in its brevity, this approachable biography is a superb introduction to the leader whose name has become synonymous with America"-- Google Books. 600 10 Washington, George,|d1732-1799. 600 17 Washington, George,|d1732-1799.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00178100 610 10 United States.|bContinental Army|xHistory. 610 17 United States.|bContinental Army.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00531979 611 27 American Revolution (1775-1783)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01351668 648 7 1789-1797|2fast 650 0 Presidents|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 Generals|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Presidents & Heads of State. 650 0 HISTORY / United States / Colonial Period (1. 650 7 Generals.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00939841 650 7 Politics and government.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 Presidents.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01075723 651 0 United States|xHistory|yRevolution, 1775-1783. 651 0 United States|xPolitics and government|y1789-1797. 651 7 United States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 Biography.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 Biographies.|2lcgft 994 C0|bWHP
