George Washington

Today we read 2 books about George Washington. When he was 11, his father died. He had a half-brother named Lawrence. Lawrence taught George how to hunt for food. George had a sister named Elizabeth. He was a great leader for our nation. George's daughter died when she was only 17. He joined the army. He married a girl named Martha. She had 2 children. He fought England the second time. George died after he got a sore throat. There was no medicine to help him then.
