About this listen

George Washington as he's rarely seen. Besides being a general and the first president of the United States, George Washington was also a farmer. His efforts to create a self-sufficient farm at Mount Vernon, Virginia, mirrored his struggle to form a new nation. Excerpts from Washington's writings are featured throughout the book, which also includes a timeline, resource section, as well as essays on Washington at Mount Vernon and his thoughts on slavery. Both illustrator and author worked closely with the staff of Mount Vernon Estate & Gardens to render an accurate portrait of Farmer George at work.

You can tell the Writer knows their stuff and has a passion for it.

Richard Poe is a great narrator as usual!

Not much you can draw from the topic of Washington in this Time period, so not much to sink your Teeth into.

But it was enjoyable enough for getting it included in the subscription.

Interesting but not Outstanding.
