Excerpt from Washington en el Centenario de Bolivar
Por vez primera en una ciudad de orígen castellano, la efigie del Cincinato moderno viene a ser lazo de union entre dos pueblos de diferentes rams, costumbresé idiomas; símbolo de alianza, porque Washington no es nuestro huésped, sino el Padre de la Patria americana, el creador de la República en el Nuevo Mundo. Las dos Américas sintetizadas por comunes glorias. Sobre el altar de la gratitud, festejan a Washington en la cuna de Bolívar.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of a Venezuelan general's plan to erect a statue of George Washington in Bogota, Colombia in 1846. Starting with a deep admiration for George Washington's leadership and ideas, the Venezuelan general and notable statesman, Josà Ignacio Paris, later initiated and funded the first statue project of Simon Bolivar, the Libertador, in the heart of modern Colombia. The book explores not just the creation of a statue that would come to be a symbol of reconciliation and unity in the region, but traces the deep historical and national ties between Bolivar and Washington, and by extension, the relationship between the two countries. It also sheds light on the complex social and political climates of Venezuela, Colombia, and the United States during the independence and civil war period, the varying receptions and treatment of Bolivar's legacy in Venezuela, and the inspirational example Washington set for leaders of revolutions across the Americas.
