Acclaimed biographer Ron Chernow provides a richly nuanced portrait of the first president of the United States in Washington: A Life.

The well-paced narrative takes the reader through Washington’s troubled childhood, his precocious feats in the French and Indian War, his creation of Mount Vernon, his heroic exploits with the Continental Army, his presiding over the Constitutional Convention, and his performance as president. In this unique biography, Chernow takes us on a page-turning journey through all the formative events of America’s founding.

The event is co-sponsored by Rainy Day Books. Autographed books will be available for sale.
