Summary "George Washington: Farmer" by Paul Leland Haworth is a historical account written during the early 20th century. The book explores an often-overlooked aspect of George Washington's life as a farmer and landowner, detailing his agricultural pursuits and home life at Mount Vernon, as well as the challenges and innovations he faced in the realm of agriculture. The beginning of the book sets the stage for Washington's profound connection to the land, revealing his thoughts on farming and cultivation through letters and reflections. Haworth describes Washington as a dedicated agriculturalist who emphasized the importance of responsible farming practices and the improvement of soil. In the opening chapters, readers are introduced to Washington's early life, his initial forays into farming, and his growing recognition of the need for sustainable practices, contrasting the Virginia agricultural practices of his time with those in England. The narrative hints at Washington's evolution from a military leader to a committed farmer, illustrating how his love for the soil shaped both his personal and public life.
