We know much about one of America's most favored heroes, George Washington, but what do we know about his mother?
Mary Ball Washington was a woman of great character and faith. For Mary "...a great deal more than sternness went into the keeping up of [her] home -- fortitude and industry, also, foresight and patience..." Her training and example did much to help shape the life of her son, George. Turner and Gunn have given much background in this biography of Mary Washington. 284 pages
