GEORGE+WASHINGTON

=GEORGE WASHINGTON: author Gabby H.=

George Washington is a hero to our nation. He was called the "Father Of His Country". He was the one who started our govnerment in 1787. George Washington was born Feburary 22, 1732 in Westmoreland, Virginia. When Washington turned 11 years old his father died because of old age.He has two step brothers named Lawrence and Augustin. From 1731-1802 Washington was married to a lady named Martha Dandridge Curtis. He never had kids and never planned on it. Washingtons first term was from 1789-1797. Then he started his second term March 4, 1793 and ended March 3, 1797. Washington won the Revolutionary War, served as president of the Constitutional Convention, and was the first president of the United States. To me he is an outstanding person that acheived a lot in life.
