I read this book for a history curriculum a few years ago.
Genevieve Foster does a very good job of telling what happened all around the world in George Washington's time. I learned a great deal about Gearge Washington, but so many other things. Foster also keeps it interesting. She tells it almost like fiction, good descriptions and so on and so forth, and telling it like it was.
I reccomend this book to anyone who likes history, or learning a variety of things at the same time.

Great bio for youth under 11years. Good primer for meaty-er bios of GW for Youth 12+ like When Washington Traveled, The Making of GW, George Washington's World, and then teen reading like The Real GW or his Writings and Leader by Destiny.

Read as history book as part of school. It was laced out in a story like layout. It was good, but a little dry at times

I love how it lays out the people following Washington’s life. We get to see the “characters” when he is young, a teen, young adult, and old. This organization really helps with relating the people into a time line.

Highly recommend for history!
