The following pages contain a glimpse of the youth Washington when hefirst stepped into public view. It is said the President and Generalare known to us but “George Washington is an unknown man.” Those, towhom the man is lost in the official, may well consider EdwardEverett’s oration in which the conduct of the youth Washington iscarefully described—that the orator’s audience might see “not anideal hero, wrapped in cloudy generalities and a mist of voguepanegyric, but the real identical man.”
