About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of George Washington, by Calista McCabe Courtenay. Read by Bill Boerst. In this biography for young people, Calista McCabe Courtenay takes the reader from George Washington the surveyor to his early military career, first as a colonel in the Virgina militia and then as a member of General Braddock'a staff during the French and Indian War. He later commanded the Virginia forces before joining the First Continental Congress. Much of the book is devoted to his campaigns during the American Revolution. At the end, we see him as President for two terms. (Summary by Bill Boerst)
