Description
"When George Washington became president in 1789, the United States of America was still a loose and quarrelsome confederation and a tentative political experiment. Washington undertook a tour of the ex-colonies to talk to ordinary citizens about their lives and their feelings about his new government, and to imbue in them the idea of being one thing--Americans. In 2018, Nathaniel Philbrick embarked on his own journey. Writing in first person about his adventures with his wife and their dog, Philbrick follows Washington's excursions: from Mount Vernon to New York; a tour of Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island; onto Long Island; and across North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. The narrative moves between centuries as we see through both Washington's and Philbrick's eyes. Written at a moment when America's founding figures are under increasing scrutiny, Travels with George grapples with Washington's legacy as a man of the people, a reluctant President, and a plantation owner who held people in slavery. Philbrick paints a picture of eighteenth-century America as divided as it is today, and he comes to understand how Washington compelled, enticed, stood up to, and listened to the many different people he met along the way -- and how his all-consuming belief in the Union helped to create a nation"--,Provided by publisher.
