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
