Description

1856 1ed George Washington & Potomac Company America Infrastructure Exploration

â€œAssociate with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for it is better to be alone than in bad company.”

Â¬â€“ George Washington

The presidency of George Washington has been long glorified for its establishment of the American government, but many of the lesser-known aspects of his presidency are overlooked. One of Washingtonâ€™s great measures was his attention to public policy and, following his term in office, Washington helped establish the Potomac Company. The Potomac Company was created to help make improvements to the Potomac River for transportation expansion.

John Pickellâ€™s â€œNew Chapter in the Early Life of Washington” provides an in-depth look at Washingtonâ€™s hopes for improved American infrastructure, examinations of mountains and rivers, American exploration, and details on commerce and trade.
