A scholarly and evocative study of how George Washington was transformed from military commander to enduring national myth. Barry Schwartz traces the deliberate construction of Washington's symbolic identity in the years following the Revolution, drawing on art, ceremony, and public memory to reveal how a new nation shaped its first hero. A 1987 first printing in vintage condition — a fine addition for collectors of American history and political biography.
