byPeter Stark

Focused on how Wilderness and War Forged America’s Founding Father, Young Washington brings Peter Stark's biographical portrait to a complex and consequential subject. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of biography & autobiography and history.

The book ultimately clarifies what made these developments possible, who experienced their effects, and why the story remains significant.
