Summary "George Washington; or, Life in America One Hundred Years Ago" by John S. C. Abbott is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work explores the life of George Washington, focusing on the early years that shaped his character and the context of American society at the time. The book promises a detailed portrayal of Washington's formative years, insights into his family background, and the political landscape that existed a century prior. The opening of the book presents a biographical sketch of George Washington's early life, detailing the emigration of his family to America, his upbringing, and the strong moral and Christian values instilled in him by his parents. Abbott describes the charming environment of colonial Virginia and Washington’s youthful experiences, including his education, a surveying expedition, and memorable anecdotes showcasing his character. The narrative sets the foundation for understanding how these influences shaped Washington into the illustrious figure he later became, providing readers with context about the early American frontier and societal norms during that period.
