The Founding Father

As we are currently in a season embroiled in partisan politics. As such, it's more important than ever to understand our Republic and its historical antecedents There is no place to better begin this journey then to look at our first President George Washington. While much as been written about Washington, and many myths have emerged over the centuries, perhaps the real George Washington has yet to emerge. Award winning historian Ron Chernow in his new biography Washington: A Life, takes us though the formative events of America's founding based on fact, not mythology.
