Life of Washington, Volume 5
'Life of Washington, Volume 5' Summary
Volume five of John Marshall's biography of George Washington covers the second term of his presidency. This term was marked by both foreign and domestic challenges, including the ongoing conflict with Native American tribes and the XYZ Affair with France. Washington's leadership and diplomacy were instrumental in resolving these issues and preserving the young nation's neutrality. Marshall also provides a detailed account of Washington's retirement to Mount Vernon. He describes Washington's daily life, his agricultural pursuits, and his correspondence with friends and family. Marshall's narrative portrays Washington as a man of great intellect, integrity, and character, who remained committed to the ideals of the American Revolution until his death in 1799.Book Details
