Francisco Chronicle_.

"The value of the book consists largely in its placing of
Washington in the right perspective. Mr. Wister's portrait
of him is all of a piece.

"The background, like the portrait, is handled with perfect
discretion. The reader who is searching for an authoritative
biography of Washington, brief, and made humanly interesting
from the first page to the last, will find it here."--From a
column review of the book in _The New York Tribune_, Nov.
23, 1907.

"Mr. Wister has succeeded in revealing a new Washington--a
Washington who becomes a wholly lovable man without losing
any of his dignity."--_Boston Herald_.

"In Mr. Wister's hands the Father of his Country is no
frozen god. He steps out of the block of ice into which, as
the author so well indicates, he was put for safekeeping
after death. The book emphasizes the man side of
Washington's character. The hero is in the background, and
the result is a warm and very convincing picture which it is
good to have."--_Philadelphia Public Ledger_.

the career of a man who still has the enthusiasm of a boy,
and whose energy and faith have illustrated before the world
the spirit of Young America."--_From the Author's Foreword_.

"The book can go into home or school, north or south,
without the possibility of offence.... It is especially
tonic for high school youth and college young men. I doubt
if any book has been written that will do as much for
students as will this story of a real life.... Buy it, read
it, and tell others to read it."--_Journal of Education_.

"In point of style the work is a masterpiece of vivid,
forceful, sinewy, Anglo-Saxon. The story never halts, one is
never irritated by f
