The Farmer Boy, and How He Became Commander-In-Chief
Morrison Heady's life of George Washington for children, told aloud by Uncle Juvinell to a room of young listeners and broken into short chapters with long summarising headings in the old manner. It covers the birth, childhood and schooling of Washington, the story of the little hatchet with its wholesome moral, the death of his father and the widowed mother left with a large family, the sorrel colt, his playing at soldiers and the near-miss of a life at sea that his mother's anxiety prevented, and his own Rules of Behavior — before following the farmer boy to the command of an army.
