 George
Washington: A Chronology of His Life and
Career George Washington lived an
exciting life in exciting times. As a
boy, he explored the wilderness. When he
grew older, he helped the British fight
the French and Indians. Many times he was
nearly killed. As a general, he suffered
hardships with his troops in the cold
winters at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania,
and Morristown, New Jersey. He lost many
battles, but led the American army to
final victory at Yorktown, Virginia.
After he became President, he
successfully solved many problems in
turning the plans of the Constitution
into a working government. |

 John
Adams: A Chronology of His Life and
Career John
Adams seldom achieved popularity during
his long political career. His bluntness,
impatience, and vanity made him more
enemies than friends. On the great
decisions of his public career, history
has proved him right and his opponents
wrong. But his clumsiness in human
relations often caused him to be
misunderstood. Despite those
shortcomings, John Adams was indeed a
very important figure in the history of
the United States. |
