George Washington: True Patriot (Heroes Of History) Read Free Books and Download eBooks
Written for ages 10 and up -- enjoyed by adults!Behind George were enemies; in front, a raging ice-packed river. Poling across had seemed his best chance, but now large blocks of ice slammed into his makeshift raft, twisting it off course. Just as George dug his pole in and pushed with all his might, a block of ice hit the raft -- the raft slammed into the pole -- and George was overboard.On a dangerous mission for the British army, young Major Washington had no idea that one day he would lead an army of fellow colonials in a bitter battle for independence against Great Britain herself, the most powerful empire in the world.In each new crisis, the young United States sought out George Washington. As commander in chief of the Continental army, chairman of the Constitutional Convention, and first president, this indispensable American served the struggling nation when its survival and form hung in the balance.

Our family has at least 4 other books from this series! Appropriate for kids of all ages. They're very informative & engaging at the same time.We use them (for home schooling)as re-alouds with our young children (ages 5-7)who can't yet read them independently. I can hardly wait to read to them, myself! I'm learning new things about these inspiring men and women!I also recommend the biographies of Abraham Lincoln, Hudson Taylor, Eric Liddell, & Gladys Aylward. Happy Reading!!
I bought this to read to my 5 and 7 year old's at bedtime. We live near Mt. Vernon and I thought this book would be neat in order for them to learn more about George Washington. They like it and I am enjoying it as well! Even at their young ages they understand most of it and I've learned much more about him. I highly recommend this book and these authors (I have also read the George Mueller book--great).
The Biography of George Washington showed how important he was in the founding of America. It was very interesting.
The authors missed many opportunities to point out the hand of Providence in George Washington's life. Disappointing in that regard, although an interesting read.
This book (and most others in the Heroes of History series)is chock full of good information and reads easily in a child-friendly format. There are some "dry" areas, but history can be rather dry at times. My greatest concern is the improper grammar that is scattered liberally throughout every book in the series that I have read. I would prefer to give this book 3 1/2 stars.
