FINALIST FOR THE GEORGE WASHINGTON BOOK PRIZE

A new, brash, and unexpected view of the president we thought we knew, from the bestselling author of Astoria

Two decades before he led America to independence, George Washington was a flailing young soldier serving the British Empire in the vast wilderness of the Ohio Valley. Na ve and self-absorbed, the twenty-two-year-old officer accidentally ignited the French and Indian War--a conflict that opened colonists to the possibility of an American Revolution.

With powerful narrative drive and vivid writing, Young Washington recounts the wilderness trials, controversial battles, and emotional entanglements that transformed Washington from a temperamental striver into a mature leader. Enduring terrifying summer storms and subzero winters imparted resilience and self-reliance, helping prepare him for what he would one day face at Valley Forge. Leading the Virginia troops into battle taught him to set aside his own relentless ambitions and stand in solidarity with those who looked to him for leadership. Negotiating military strategy with British and colonial allies honed his diplomatic skills. And thwarted in his obsessive, youthful love for one woman, he grew to cultivate deeper, enduring relationships.

By weaving together Washington's harrowing wilderness adventures and a broader historical context, Young Washington offers new insights into the dramatic years that shaped the man who shaped a nation.

This soap is a second line defense against itching due to allergies.
This is only the second thing my husband has asked me to reorder from Amazon. He was itching all the time, so I ordered this for him. It stopped the itching because when he ran out and started itching again, he told me to reorder it immediately. I use an allergen free detergent for washing our clothes because we both tend to have allergy problems. This is a second line of defense against itching from allergies since soaps and detergents tend to trigger ours. It would also be nice to cleanse your skin after coming into contact with poison ivy or oak. What I paid is worth it to me because the value is in not hearing him complain! There’s no unpleasant odor and it’s a good quality soap. I can’t speak to the moisturizing part because he doesn’t care about things like that, but his skin must be moisturized or he’d be itching again, lol. I’ll definitely keep buying it.
