George Washington George Washington was commander in chief of the Continental army during the American Revolution and first president of the United States (1789-97). Early Life and Career. By 1753 the growing rivalry between the British and French over control of the Ohio Valley, soon to erupt into the French and Indian War (1754-63), created new opportunities for the ambitious young Washington. He first gained public notice when, as adjutant of one of Virginia's four military districts, he was dispatched (October 1753) by Gov. Robert Dinwiddie on a fruitless mission to warn the French commander at Fort Le Boeuf against further encroachment on territory claimed by Britain. Washington's diary account of the dangers and difficulties of his journey, published at Williamsburg on his return, may have helped win him his ensuing promotion to lieutenant colonel. Although only 22 years of age and lacking experience, he learned quickly, meeting the problems of recruitment, supply, and desertions with a combination of brashness and native ability that earned him the respect of his superiors.

George Washington - A Concise Biography On April 30, 1789, George Washington, standing on the balcony of Federal Hall on Wall Street in New York, took his oath of office as the first President of the United States. "As the first of every thing, in our situation will serve to establish a Precedent," he wrote James Madison, "it is devoutly wished on my part, that these precedents may be fixed on true principles." Born in 1732 into a Virginia planter family, he learned the morals, manners, and body of knowledge requisite for an 18th century Virginia gentleman. He pursued two intertwined interests: military arts and western expansion. At 16 he helped survey Shenandoah lands for Thomas, Lord Fairfax. Commissioned a lieutenant colonel in 1754, he fought the first skirmishes of what grew into the French and Indian War. The next year, as an aide to Gen. Edward Braddock, he escaped injury although four bullets ripped his coat and two horses were shot from under him. From 1759 to the outbreak of the American Revolution, Washington managed his lands around Mount Vernon and served in the Virginia House of Burgesses. Married to a widow, Martha Dandridge Custis, he devoted himself to a busy and happy life. But like his fellow planters, Washington felt himself exploited by British merchants and hampered by British regulations. As the quarrel with the mother country grew acute, he moderately but firmly voiced his resistance to the restrictions.

And to show that this is no empty boasting for the present occasion, but real tangible fact, you have only to consider the power which our city possesses and which has been won by those very qualities which I have mentioned.

John Hanson, American Patriot and First President of the United States He was the heir of one of the greatest family traditions in the colonies and became the patriarch of a long line of American patriots – his great-grandfather died at Lutzen beside the great King Gustavus Aldophus of Sweden; his grandfather was one of the founders of New Sweden along the Delaware River in Maryland; one of his nephews was the military secretary to George Washington; another was a signer of the Declaration; still another was a signer of the Constitution; yet another was Governor of Maryland during the Revolution; and still another was a member of the first Congress; two sons were killed in action with the Continental Army; a grandson served as a member of Congress under the new Constitution; and another grandson was a Maryland Senator. Thus, even if Hanson had not served as President himself, he would have greatly contributed to the life of the nation through his ancestry and progeny. As a youngster he began a self-guided reading of classics and rather quickly became an acknowledged expert in the juridicalism of Anselm and the practical philosophy of Seneca – both of which were influential in the development of the political philosophy of the great leaders of the Reformation. It was based upon these legal and theological studies that the young planter – his farm, Mulberry Grove was just across the Potomac from Mount Vernon – began to espouse the cause of the patriots.

Under his administration, a national bank was approved, peace was made with the Indians and the federal government was proved capable of enforcing its laws.

Months ago, Democrats were fixating on Tom DeLay and hoping he could be the poster-boy for the 2006 congressional campaign. Now the Dems have almost an embarrassment of riches: Frist, Michael Brown, David Safavian (the recently arrested White House procurement official). Daily there are new reports of Bush hacks and cronies in key government posts. ButgeeFrist really seems to have the anti-Midas touch, which is odd for a millionaire. He has had more screw-ups this year than I can recall for a congressional leader (Schiavo, Social Security, and more). And to think: he used to operate on people.

The farm was on land his grandfather had settled after emigrating from England. He was interested in school, and he especially liked arithmetic, so he was able to use his math abilities to become a surveyor. He later joined the British army and served under General Braddock in the French and Indian War. Soon after, at age 27, he married a widow, Martha Custis, and moved to her home, Mount Vernon, in Virginia. His life as a farmer at Mount Vernon was a struggle because of the taxes and regulations imposed by the British. Washington was chosen to represent Virginia in the Continental Congress. This congress decided he was the right man to lead the colonial forces after the Declaration of Independence brought about the War of Independence from England, called the Revolutionary War. As Commander in Chief, he was often criticized for being timid and conservative. During this time, Washington demonstrated his great leadership abilities. On a cold Christmas night in 1776, he led his troops across the Delaware River into New Jersey, where they surprised the British and defeated them soundly. Those troops, with Washington as their leader, went on to win the war.

99. Celebrate! Holidays In The U.S.A. - George Washington's Birthday (February 22) The laws called for a president, and here again george washington was considered the natural choice. He agreed to serve his country as the first president. http://www.usemb.se/Holidays/celebrate/george.html

Celebrate! Holidays In The U.S.A. George Washington's Birthday (February 22) Until 1971, both February 12 and February 22 were observed as federal public holidays to honor the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln (February 12) and George Washington (February 22). In 1971 President Richard Nixon proclaimed one single federal public holiday, the Presidents' Day , to be observed on the third Monday of February, honoring all past presidents of the United States of America. Please Note: The Federal statute designates this day as Washington's Birthday, President Nixon issued a proclamation declaring the holiday as "President's Day" in 1971. President Nixon erroneously believed that a Presidential proclamation on the matter carried the same weight as an Executive Order. Since that change in 1971, the common term has been "President's Day". George Washington, born February 22, 1732 in Virginia, was a natural leader, instrumental in creating a united nation out of a conglomeration of struggling colonies and territories. The first president of the United States of America is affectionately honored as "the father of his country." Shortly after his twenty-second birthday, Washington served in the army of King George III of England and was put in command of a troop of soldiers. The French were settling on British soil and turning the local Indians against the British colonists. Later, in the war against the French and Indians, Washington commanded large troops of soldiers and showed courage that inspired all his soldiers.

How do we really know when George Washington was born? Tobias Lear, Washington's secretary and close friend, gave the world a clue. Lear lived with George and Martha Washington at Mt. Vernon , and he helped the Revolutionary War general organize his papers. On February 14, 1790 , Lear wrote that the President's "birth day" was on the 11th of February Old Style , referring to the Julian Calendar. Washington was born 20 years prior to the 1752 introduction of the Gregorian Calendar (intended to more accurately reflect a solar year). When the Julian Calendar was "corrected" to the Gregorian Calendar, February 11th became February 22nd. Tobias Lear to Clement Biddle , February 14, 1790.
