Review
"A compelling biography, judicious and searching."--Library Journal (starred review)
"Ferling obviously has a rare feel for the language. His prose is at times almost poetry, his re-creations of the scenes of Washington's endeavors, especially the natural surroundings in which the surveyor, the planter, and teh soldier labored, are gripping and masterful."--American Historical Review
