Synopsis
Excerpt from George Washington
In this sketch I have conceived of Washington as of some superb athlete equipped for every ordeal which life might cause him to face. The nature of each ordeal must be briefly stated; brief also, but sufficient, the account of the way he accomplished it. I have quoted freely from his letters wherever it seemed fitting, first, because in them you get his per sonal authentic statement of what happened as he saw it, and you get also his purpose in making any move; and next, because nothing so well reveals the real George Washington as those letters do. Who ever will steep himself in them will hardly declare that their writer remains an elusive person beyond finding out or understanding. In the course of read ing them you will come upon many of those im ponderables which are the secret soul of state craft.
