During the Revolution, a military aide
said of Washington: To him the title of
Excellency is applied with peculiar pro¬
priety. He is the best and greatest man the
world ever knew
. . .
neither depressed by
disappointments and difficulties, nor elated
with temporary success. He retreats like a
Genera], and attacks like a Hero. Had he
lived in the days of idolatry, he had been
worshipped as a God. Washington did not
live in the days of idolatry, but for many
years it seemed that his biographers did, for
as James Morton Smith writes, the Virginian
was a natural for hero worship
...
in a new
nation without national symbols or an ex¬
tensive body of tradition.
Now, in our own time, we are arriving at
a more realistic view of Washington, one
that humanizes him and carefully weighs his
role in the making of America. Whether as
a young man, a military commander, a po¬
litical and social thinker, a fighter for re¬
ligious liberty, or as a President, Washington
is here presented in an unforgettable portrait
for the modern reader. Drawn from the very
best research and written by some of our
ablest scholars, these exceptional essays
chosen by Professor Smith give us for the
first time in such brief compass the life and
work of a great American.
