Produced by Juliet Sutherland, Tim Koeller and PG Distributed Proofreaders "George Washington, Volume II" by Henry Cabot Lodge is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume continues the portrayal of George Washington, focusing on the critical period following his military service and the significant role he played in the establishment of the United States government. It offers insights into Washington's leadership qualities, his vision for a united nation, and his persistent efforts to address the challenges of his time. The opening of the book describes Washington's return to Mount Vernon after resigning his commission and the profound sense of relief he felt at being home. However, it quickly becomes evident that despite his desire for peace and domestic life, he was drawn back into public affairs and political issues. The text outlines his various commitments, including managing his estate and responding to a burgeoning correspondence from admirers and former colleagues, all while grappling with the significant national issues that lingered after the Revolution. It introduces Washington's foresight regarding the future of the United States and lays the groundwork for his influential role in advocating for a central government and the drafting of the Constitution.
