No Aladdin depending for his fortune upon a genie of the lamp can hope to rival in interest this humble backwoods boy who rose by his own efforts to the leadership of a great nation. His life story is a constant inspiration to every other boy in the land — and will continue so for countless generations.”CONTENTSI. A Home in the WildernessII. Life on a Frontier FarmIII.

This we have tried to give in the case of George Washington — going carefully back to the early documents, trying to paint a faithful portrait, and supplementing the facts of history with just enough color of imagination to give a glow of life to the canvas. Treated as a human being, Washington becomes a good comrade and friend whom [everyone] should know and love.”CONTENTSI. Early Home LifeII. The Young SurveyorIII. The Budding SoldierIV.
