But what was he like as a kid? In this narrative biography, you'll learn all about George Washington's childhood, from his birth in Virginia on February 22, 1732, to his boyhood on a farm near Fredricksburg and later at Mount Vernon, to his relationship with his older brother, who was like a father to him. Find out what George did for fun--and what prepared him to eventually lead a new nation. |
