Washington’s Last Days

Description

The hero who returned to Mount Vernon in March 1797 was once now not an excessively old man – he was once best sixty-five – yet the evidence is obvious he had left his mental top at the back of him. Despite the fact that his own mother was once an exception, George Washington came from short-lived families; he believed he had worn himself out by the strains of his years in public service, and regardless that he had been an athletic man, he had suffered from many serious illnesses. Here, on this essay by National Book Award winner John Thomas Flexner, is the dramatic story of Washington’s last days.
