📱 eBook en inglés THE LIFE OF GEORGE WASHINGTON (SUMMARIZED EDITION)

John Marshalls The Life of George Washington offers a documentary, nation-making biography that follows Washington from frontier officer to president while narrating the French and Indian War, the Revolution, and the contested birth of the republic. In stately, juridical prose, Marshall privileges orders, correspondence, and public papers over anecdote, producing extended campaign analyses and constitutional commentary typical of early nineteenth-century Federalist historiography. Marshall - Revolutionary War veteran, diplomat, congressman, and Chief Justice - drew on service in the Continental Army and a jurists devotion to national union. Commissioned by Bushrod Washington and granted privileged access to Mount Vernon papers, he arranged scattered manuscripts into a coherent public life, clarifying episodes from Trenton to the Jay Treaty while advancing a broad constitutional vision. Scholars of the early republic, military history, and political thought will prize this work for its archival depth and revealing Federalist lens. Read it for measured argument and documentary richness, and with awareness of its apologetic tone. Alongside modern biographies, it remains a foundational, challenging guide to the making of Washington and the nation.
