Das Leben des Georg Waschington, mit Sonderbaren Anecdoten, Sowohl ehrenvoll für ihn selbst, als auch Nachahmungswürdig für seine junge Landsleute is a German-language biography of George Washington intended to inspire young readers with the moral character and patriotic example of America’s first president. Originally published in the early 19th century, the book presents Washington’s life through a series of notable anecdotes that highlight his virtues—courage, honesty, humility, and leadership. Emphasizing episodes both honorable to Washington and worthy of emulation, the work reflects the transatlantic reverence for Washington as a republican hero and moral exemplar. This edition served not only as a biography but also as a didactic text aimed at German-speaking youth in the United States or Europe, reinforcing civic values through the life of a foundational American figure.

Fantastic seller. Contacted me almost immediately with shipping details and an explanation about a potential delay due to the Juneteeth holiday. Book was wrapped in a ridiculous amount of bubble wrap so it would arrive safely. So awesome to have a book from the early 1800s on free trade. This was absolutely a great value and would buy from again! I have zero complaints.

Books arrived in perfect condition and why shouldn't they? A very careful and deliberate packaging like this would guarantee anything safe arrival, and shipping cost was very reasonable as well. A great value for a better-than-described item. Hope we can do business again sometime.
