historical events only comprise the beginnings of learning about this
unparalleled American hero. This Historic George Washington DVD is a must for

greatest of Americans.
Title #1:
George Washington Production Date:
1968 Running Time: 29 minutes Brief Description: Now, in this absorbing historical DVD, the whole of
George Washingtons storied life is explored to its rich depths. The journey
begins by first delving into his modest childhood. Humble and practical lessons
from Washingtons farming father, and Washingtons early work as a surveyor,
would teach this great man the moral and ethical principles that guided him
throughout the rest of his days. From there, the video takes off with
Washingtons whirlwind of major experiences. Stirring pictures from the Battle
of Valley Forge capture Washingtons budding military career. Washington was
beseeched to become the leader of the nation whose freedom he had heroically
secured. But his unboastful character made him reticent to take the reigns of
this brand new State. A call to duty from a buoyant public left a loyal
Washington with no choice but to become the first President. Vivid pictures of
both his first and second terms color the narrative as an august presidential
personage becomes the bedrock of American politics. Humbleness and prudence,
major themes of Washingtons career, would continue as the video depicts his
later years. Washington retired to Mount Vernon after refusing a third
presidential term to do hands on work with farming and distilling. He would
inspect his farms with the same personal care that served him so well during his
period as Americas military and political leader.
