UVA Miller Center- U.S. Presidents- George Washington

Mar 3

George Washington was born to Mary Ball and Augustine Washington on February 22, 1723. As the third son of a middling planter, George probably should have been relegated to a footnote in a history book. Instead, he became one of the greatest figures in American history.
