When George Washington Bowed to the New Nation

By:

Barbara Roberts

George Washington and the ragtag Continental Army shocked the world by defeating the mighty Birtish Army, the greatest fighting force on earth.

 

And then George Washington shocked the world again.

 

He gave up his power.

 

Exhaustively researched, this book follows Washington from New York at the end of the Revolution, to the Sate House in Annapolis, MD, where he turned in his commission to lead the Continental Army and returned to civilian life. Beautifully illustrated by Anne Yvonne Gilbert.
