Becoming GEORGE, the life and letters of George Washington
My new suit
When I was a kid


I was a war hero in the American
revolution and the first President of the United States - this made me really famous and really popular in early America. Almost every artist living at the time drew or painted a picture of me.

    George Washington in armor
  One lazy artist took an old picture of
an English knight from the 1600s and stuck my head on it. Weird, huh? I never wore a suit of armor in my life! Click on my portrait to view a larger picture. Try rolling your mouse over the heads.
