Slavery at Mount Vernon

Paperback (Gareth Stevens Pub Jan. 1, 2017)
"Mount Vernon, George Washington s residence, holds a special place in US history and in the hearts of many Americans. But its history of slavery has remained largely hidden until recently. That s because it s difficult to accept the contradiction of a Founding Father who fought for liberty, but engaged in the practice of slavery. This thought-provoking volume uses the discoveries of archaeologists as well as the writings of Washington himself to shed light on the lives of the slaves who dwelled on this land"--
