Summary
Woodrow Wilson’s biography presents George Washington as a product of colonial Virginia and the social world that shaped him. It traces his birth in 1732, the character of the English colonies, and the distinctive habits of Virginia society, where plantation life, self-government, and a small center at Williamsburg defined public life. Washington emerges as a gentleman of honor whose military apprenticeship and political leadership were formed by these conditions.
