1856 Life of George Washington by Washington Irving America Revolutionary War 5v

“It is better to be alone than in bad company.”

– George Washington

Late in Washington Irving’s literary career, he began publishing a biography on the first American president, George Washington. In order to accurately portray George Washington, Irving traveled to and from the Washington’s plantation home of Mount Vernon to garner studies for his work. This work was the final published work of Irving’s life, and was published in a total of five volumes.

While many biographies of George Washington exist, few, if any, are by as well-known of an author as Washington Irving. An important work of Americana.
