3. From Colonies to Country
with George Washington

He stares at us from every one dollar bill, but we hardly notice. We already know it is George Washington, the first president of the United States. But look again. His face appears serious and old, not heroic or adventuresome. So why did Americans 225 years ago pick him to be their leader? How did George Washington help our colonies become a free country? This book will answer some of the questions. The events, the battles, the men, the women, the plots, the timing all are true. From the pounding hoofs of Paul Revere’s horse to the clomp of British boots, you'll see what George Washington did during our war for freedom.

This full-color, attractively bound book also includes:
-- A Character-Development Section that applies lessons from
Washington's leadership.
-- An Activity Section that will help make the Washington and our
war for freedom more "hands on" real.
-- A "Do You Know" Section that provides added information about
events, people, and things mentioned in From Colonies to Country.
