Washington Irving 
The Life Of George Washington, Vol. 1 

’The Life Of George Washington’ is a monumental work on the life of one of the most famous American presidents. Originally published in five volumes between 1853 and 1859, it is a treasure chest of information on Washington and the Civil War. This work is presumeably the most intimate and fascinating biography of a man who worked his way from an Army commander to the first President of the United States.

This is volume one out of five.
