Harness relates--and celebrates--all facets of the life of America's intelligent, tenacious first president, taking special care to cast Washington in terms of his times. The illustrations, a combination of watercolor, gouache, ink, and colored pencil, are laden with historical detail, featuring many maps, hand-lettered captions, and historical asides. A section in the back gives additional facts about Washington.
