The
Great Experiment : George Washington and the American Republic
John H. Rhodehamel, Gordon S. Wood
A catalog for a traveling exhibition of art and artifacts from the
life of George Washington, this elegant volume also provides an excellent
overview history of Washington's life. The biography of Washington is,
as would be expected, positive, yet the author, John Rhodehamel, a curator
of American History at the Huntington Library in Los Angeles, does not
ignore some often overlooked aspects of Washington's personality, specifically
his temper, pride, and ambition. Indeed, the "Great Experiment" of the
title applies as much to Washington's efforts to transform his own personality
as to his enormous contributions to the founding of the United States.
Rhodehamel documents how Washington, as he matured, subjugated the fierce
ambition that had brought him to international repute during the French
and Indian War and eventually made perhaps his greatest contribution to
the newly independent colonies by modestly emphasizing the primacy of civilian
rule. The text presents Washington's story, up through his stormy second
term as president and his death soon after, in readable and often entertaining
terms, and the visual component of the book deserves special mention. Besides
the many photographs of Washington artifacts and contemporaneous artistic
depictions of him, the fine photographic reproduction of letters and journal
entries in Washington's own hand does much to humanize a person all too
often regarded as a distant and incomprehensible icon. --Robert McNamara

The
life of George Washington (1848)
by John Marshall
Within eight years of the death of George Washington in 1799, the first
major biography of 'the father of his country' was written by John Marshall
and published in five volumes. This, the twentieth and final version of
the abridgement, published in 1849, is the text reproduced in the new Liberty
Fund edition of what Charles A Beard has praised as a 'great' and 'masterly'
biography. The editors' foreword and notes, together with maps of major
battle campaigns not included in the original edition, make this edition
especially attractive for students.

George
Washington: A Biography
by Washington Irving, Charles Neider (Editor)
Washington Irving’s Life of George Washington (published in five volumes in 1856–59) was the product of his last years and remains his most personal work. Christened with the name of the great general, Irving was blessed by Washington while still a boy of seven, and later came to know many of the prominent figures of the Revolution. In these pages he describes them using firsthand source material and observation. The result is a book which is fascinating not only for its subject (the American Revolution), but also for how it reveals in illuminating detail the personality and humanity of a now remote, towering icon. Here is an intimate portrait of Washington the man, from Virginia youth to colonial commander to commander-in-chief of the patriot army to first president and great guiding force of the American federation. But one cannot read Irving’s Life without marveling at the supreme art behind it, for his biography is foremost a work of literature. Charles Neider’s abridgment and editing of Irving’s long out-of-print classic has created a literary work comparable in importance and elegance to the original. George Washington, A Biography, Neider’s title for his edition of Irving’s Life, makes the work accessible to modern audiences. The extensive introduction provides a detailed analysis of Irving’s life and times, and the difficulties he faced as he worked against his own failing health to finish what he felt was his masterpiece. This new edition of the superb biography of America’s first citizen by America’s first literary artist remains as fresh and unique today as when it was penned.
