George Washington - The Early Years
Tune in this week as I start on the journey that is the life of Washington. As I mention in the episode, the first president has made several appearances on prior episodes and I think they're worth listening to in preparation to the closing chapter of Washington.
Take a listen to the following episodes:
Episode 7: First Comes War...
Episode 19: The Culper Spy Ring, Part 1
Episode 20: The Culper Spy Ring, Part 2
Episode 22: The American Revolution - Impacts
