"The Youth of Washington: Told in the Form of an Autobiography" by S. Weir Mitchell is a historical account written in the early 20th century, specifically in 1910. The book unfolds as a reflective autobiography of George Washington, exploring his formative years up until the brink of his monumental leadership. Weir Mitchell employs a biographical structure, providing insights into Washington's character, upbringing, and the circumstances that shaped his early life. At the start of this autobiographical exploration, Washington contemplates his life after retiring from the presidency, finding solace in reflecting on his past and the lessons it holds. He discusses his personal history, including thoughts on his family lineage, the influences of his upbringing, and his education, while also assessing his role in the broader context of America's fight for independence. The opening sets the stage for a deeper look at the traits and experiences that shaped Washington into the formidable leader he would later become, emphasizing his early struggles, ambitions, and the environment that fostered his sense of duty and honor.
