George Washington: Farmer by Paul Leland Haworth is a biography of the first President of the United States, focusing on his life as a farmer. The book explores how Washington's experiences as a farmer influenced his leadership and decision-making, both on the battlefield and in politics. It covers his early years as a farmer in Virginia, his military career during the Revolutionary War, and his presidency. The book also delves into Washington's personal life, including his marriage to Martha and his relationships with his slaves. Through detailed research and engaging storytelling, Haworth paints a vivid picture of Washington as a man deeply connected to the land and the importance of agriculture in American society. The book is suitable for readers of all ages interested in American history and the life of one of its most iconic figures.His attention to this last matter was most particular. Often when away from home he would have a record kept and on his return would incorporate it into his book. Exactly what advantages he expected to derive therefrom are not apparent, though I presume that he hoped to draw conclusions as to the best time for planting crops. In reading it I was many times reminded of a Cleveland octogenarian who for fifty-seven years kept a record twice a day of the thermometer and barometer.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
