The Real George Washington (American Classic Series) by Jay A. Parry
Everyone should read this book. It offers a concise description of the beginnings of our country, our constitution, and those who made it all happen, mostly through the eyes of George Washington. If you had trouble getting in to 1776 (like me) this could be the book for you. I believe it is an important book. We need to look back and remember our founding principles and what makes this country great.
By the way, a great book for kids 10 and up who like non-fiction.

The Real George Washington (American Classic Series) by Jay A. Parry
I loved this book and was so sorry to see it end. It made George Washignton come alive. Little known stories we throught the book. Well researched and very easy to read.

The Real George Washington (American Classic Series) by Jay A. Parry
I am compelled to write a review of this book despite only having completed the first one-third of the volume. While it is a book fit for academia, it reads like a novel; a historical reference book composed to be as captivating as any cloak-and-dagger fiction.

The writing, recounting George Washington's life and the Revolutionary War, captivates with an equality only matching the saga itself. The author's goal of retelling history with the assistance of President Washington's own words, is masterfully executed. The amount of quotations per page is proportional to the number footnotes. Illustrations and maps from the time help complete the understanding of events.

Nearly 200 pages, at the conclusion of his story, make up "Timeless Treasures of George Washington". The 'Timeless Treasures' are excerpts of writings from Washington. For convenience, the entries are broken into subjects and alphabetically ordered for easy reference.
