George Washington: Farmer by Paul Leland Haworth is a biography that explores the lesser-known aspect of the life of the first president of the United States - his passion for agriculture. The book takes readers on a journey through Washington's life, from his early years as a farmer in Virginia to his eventual retirement at Mount Vernon. Through detailed research and engaging storytelling, Haworth paints a vivid picture of Washington's love for farming and his dedication to improving agricultural practices in America. The book also delves into the political and economic climate of the time, providing context for Washington's agricultural pursuits and their significance in shaping the nation. Overall, George Washington: Farmer offers readers a unique perspective on one of America's most iconic figures and sheds light on a lesser-known aspect of his life and legacy.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.
