Washington grew up wanting to be a proper Virginia gentleman, like his brother Lawrence – until he got the chance to go on a wilderness trip as a surveyor’s assistant.  Here is the illustrated version of that adventure, the second in a series of original picture storybooks about major moments in the young lives of American Presidents.  Grades K-4.
