George Washington: Padre de La Patria

Tracie Egan

George Washington, a Virginia planter, was appointed commander of the American forces by the Continental Congress. He fought the British to a standstill, eventually forcing General Cornwallis to surrender at Yorktown. This important surrender led to the Treaty of Paris in 1789, ending the war and ensuring independence for America. Known as the Father of Our Country, George Washington was elected the first president of the United States. Using a timeline and primary source images, this vivid account will bring this beloved hero to life for young readers.
