FINALIST FOR THE GEORGE WASHINGTON BOOK PRIZE

A new, brash, and unexpected view of the president we thought we knew, from the bestselling author of Astoria

Two decades before he led America to independence, George Washington was a flailing young soldier serving the British Empire in the vast wilderness of the Ohio Valley. Na ve and self-absorbed, the twenty-two-year-old officer accidentally ignited the French and Indian War--a conflict that opened colonists to the possibility of an American Revolution.

With powerful narrative drive and vivid writing, Young Washington recounts the wilderness trials, controversial battles, and emotional entanglements that transformed Washington from a temperamental striver into a mature leader. Enduring terrifying summer storms and subzero winters imparted resilience and self-reliance, helping prepare him for what he would one day face at Valley Forge. Leading the Virginia troops into battle taught him to set aside his own relentless ambitions and stand in solidarity with those who looked to him for leadership. Negotiating military strategy with British and colonial allies honed his diplomatic skills. And thwarted in his obsessive, youthful love for one woman, he grew to cultivate deeper, enduring relationships.

By weaving together Washington's harrowing wilderness adventures and a broader historical context, Young Washington offers new insights into the dramatic years that shaped the man who shaped a nation.

Beautiful, Sturdy, Excellent Customer Service!!
Size: 6 Tier, Color: White
Excellent quality item, and beyond outstanding customer service! This jewelry case is very thoughtfully configured, to accommodate various sizes and shapes of jewelry. I purchased this primarily to keep my fine gold chains entangled, and there are numerous velvet hooks, with pockets below to do this. The dividers are not removable, but because there six drawers with difference size choices, it was not an issue, tho some customers may have that question. The watch band bolsters, however, ARE removable. I chose the cream color case with tan/gold interior velvet lining. BUT, the lining, in my view, looks actually to be dusty rose/mauve in color. Not a screaming pink, a bit subtle, but it doesn't look tan as in the photo. Just FYI, in case the interior color is a big deal for you. But the exterior light cream is just as pictured, and is beautiful! Regarding the customer service for this company, I contacted them prior to and after purchase. They responded very quickly, and were clear and articulate in answering my questions / addressing my concerns Thank you!

Good quality and easy gift
Size: 6 Tier, Color: Jelly Pink
This came with some scratches to the metal. Other than that the organization and versatility of this item is amazing. My wife loves it and it cleared up a lot of room for more jewelry. Which could’ve been a mistake for myself lol. I recommend this as a gift for your wife!

Pretty but…
Size: 6 Tier, Color: White
It looks nice and will hold a good amount of jewelry BUT I bought this because it locks. The lock only locks the top drawer and none of the others. I may need to return it since I would prefer the entire jewelry box to lock.
