註釋Today, we often think of George Washington as being stiff and formal. Early in life, he had decided that being formal was often the best way to get things done. But he was also a man of great energy and enthusiasm. Washington was the teenager who braved the wilderness. He was the young officer who amazed other soliders with his athletic ability and courage. As a military leader, Washington would lead the charge into battle. And as the president of the Constitutional Convention, Washington often advised delegates with nothing more than a smile or a scowl. In George Washington: Creating a Nation, authors Wim Coleman and Pat Perrin examine the life of George Washington, who struggled throughout his life to be what he thought a good man should be. Fortunately, that included commitment, a spirit of adventure, boundless strength and energy, a self-critical nature, and willingness to compromise with others. Book jacket.
