He wanted to serve the king, so he donned a red coat and fought the French. He loved another mans wife but yearned for status, so he married a rich widow. He dreamed of wealth, so he accumulated land and slaves. He accumulated enemies, too…\n\nIn Citizen Washington, one of those enemies--a newspaper publisher named Hesperus Draper--learns that Martha Washington has burned her husbands letters at his death. So Draper sets his nephew on a quest to find the truth about the letters and about the man himself. The younger Draper meets a dozen people, from Mount Vernon slaves and Iroquois Indians to Jefferson and Adams and the other giants of the era, and they tell their own stories as they tell Washingtons: from his callow youth, through the harrowing battles of the Revolution, to the first American presidency.\n\nWhat emerges is a remarkable, multi-faceted portrait of a society reeling toward rebellion, a nation rushing to be born, and a man rising to greatness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Forge Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44950165684277,"sku":"ByrdShop_0765363615","price":63.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780765363619_c11b9c52-2511-4f7a-bb9d-a47f739e91e7.jpg?v=1778709320","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/citizen-washington-a-novel-9780765363619","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
