Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Young George Washington "I am not surprised at what George has done, for he was always a good boy," is the remark that General Washington's mother made when she was told that her "boy" had been elected the first President of the United States. Although he was the greatest man in America, and one of the grandest men that ever lived; George Washington was always her "boy." It is as a boy - for he was "a real boy" - and as a kind, unselfish, brave, true man, that we are to consider him. This is not easy to do, because most people have mistaken ideas about Washington. Those who knew him best, and could have told just what he did and said, were possessed of strange notions as to what ought to be told about him.
