  • Summary

  • How well do we know George Washington, the man—and why have we created so many myths about him? We talk with Edward G. Lengel, award-winning author and teacher, and long-time editor-in-chief of the Washington Papers Project, about this well-known but enigmatic character. Ed Lengel has written about Washington the General,
    General George Washington: A Military Life, and about Washington the First Entrepreneur: How George Washington Built his--and the Nation's--Prosperity , and about our continued invention of new Washington’s to suit our times and tempers (Inventing George Washington: America’s Founder in Myth and Memory). We will explore the many facets of Washington and his long career—during his life and after—in American culture.
