As a student of America's founding, I read a number of well researched, detailed books. But it's nice every once in a while to read a more concise, "simple" book about a particular topic. "Frontier Colonel" covers Washington's early years, focusing mainly on his work with the British in attempting to quell the French from overtaking the colonies. ( ) This is a wonderful landmark book, full of adventures of George Washington.when George was little he loved Horses, he loved the feeling of being in the saddle. when George Washington was born there where no automobiles, airplanes or steamboats on earth that meant it was hard to travel.this is a good book, enjoy!!! North’s classic biography of our nation's first President, George Washington: Frontier Colonel, is a great introduction for young readers. The language is easy to follow, and presented in such a way as to be interesting. The narrative follows Washington from his childhood in Virginia, to his time as a surveyor, a seafarer, and a militiaman, up to the point he became the first leader of our fledgling culture. I don't think I ever really knew how reluctant he was to accept. It also delve into more personal aspects of his life with Martha. I liked that. Sometimes 'short’, kid-oriented biographies focus on the biggest and flashiest parts of the subject’s lives. Throughout are gorgeous pictures and lithograph images. If you have any children with a love of history, this is the perfect gift! ***Many thanks to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing for providing an egalley in exchange for a fair and honest review. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Sterling North, author of the award-winning children’s classic Rascal, tells the tale of the Father of Our Country and how he became one of the greatest leaders of all time. Focusing particularly on Washington’s youth, North fully captures the spirit of the man as he examines his childhood in colonial Virginia, his early experiences as a member of the militia, and his many other adventures leading up to the Revolutionary War. The fully rounded person who emerges from this captivating portrait is uncomfortable with words, shy with women, totally at home in the outdoors, and deeply in love with the country he helped found.
