George Washington

George Washington was the first president. He was the father of our country. He was born in 1732. His face is everywhere! On Mount Rushmore, stamps, the quarter, and the one dollar bill! The story of when he chopped down the cherry tree is not true. When he was sixteen he was a surveyor. When he was 20 he had a lot of land. He was the leader of the Continental Army. He was known for his honesty and that's how he was famous.
