GEORGE WASHINGTON
OUR NATIONS FATHER
Who is he and what did he do?

His influence and publications about him.
He was a very influential leader he rallied troops just as well as he did the public, that’s why he was chosen to lead the continental army and ultimately the nation as our first president. When he was young his father died preventing him from finishing his education in England and even though he didnt school as siblings did, he still finished his education through tutors and gained a well paid surveyor position. This person has influenced me to achieve more than average through leadership and dedication.
Publications - Books: Washington Writings by Library of America, Movies: The life of George Washington, Historical sites: The capitol Washington D.C. was named after George Washington.
