| America’s first president has captivated our interest for more than two centuries, but no biographer of George Washington knew him with the authenticity; intimacy; and depth of understanding as John Marshall exhibited in his book The Life of George Washington. George Washington (1732-99) was commander in chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War (1775-83) and served two terms as the first U.S. president, from 1789 to 1797. During the American Revolution, he led the colonial forces to victory over the British and became a national hero. In 1787, he was elected president of the convention that wrote the U.S. Constitution. |
