Summary "George Washington" by Calista McCabe Courtenay is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life and key events concerning George Washington, from his early years as a surveyor to his role as Commander-in-Chief during the American Revolution and his eventual presidency. It likely aims to highlight Washington's contributions and character as a foundational figure in American history. The opening of the text discusses Washington's early life, outlining his family background, upbringing in Virginia, and education. It describes his natural leadership qualities as a youth, his responsibilities as a surveyor, and his early forays into military duty. Notably, it captures significant moments of his youth, including the influence of his family and friends, his respect for authority taught by his mother, and his early adventures while surveying land in the wilderness, which contributed to the shaping of his character and future role as a leader.
