In November 1797, freed from the presidency and repairing his neglected plantations, an aging George Washington begins a private memoir of his youth. Weir Mitchell imagines that memoir in Washington’s own voice, from boyhood in Virginia and surveying the frontier to his mission to the French on the Ohio and the opening of his military career.
