SUMMARY:Adult Book Club: “Travels with George" by Nathaniel Philbrick
DESCRIPTION:This month’s book is Travels with George: In Search of Washington and His Legacy by Nathaniel Philbrick. (313 pages) \nFrom the Publisher: Does George Washington still matter? Bestselling author Nathaniel Philbrick argues for Washington’s unique contribution to the forging of America by retracing his journey as a new president through all thirteen former colonies\, which were now an unsure nation.\nWritten at a moment when America’s founding figures are under increasing scrutiny\, Travels with George grapples bluntly and honestly with Washington’s legacy as a man of the people\, a reluctant president\, and a plantation owner who held people in slavery. Philbrick paints a picture of eighteenth-century America as divided and fraught as it is today\, and he comes to understand how Washington compelled\, enticed\, stood up to\, and listened to the many different people he met along the way—and how his all-consuming belief in the union helped to forge a nation. \nAbout the Author: Nathaniel Philbrick is the New York Times bestselling author of In the Heart of the Sea\, winner of the National Book Award and the basis\nof a film directed by Ron Howard; Mayflower\, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize; a trilogy about the American Revolution that includes Valiant Ambition\, winner of the George Washington Book Prize; Travels with George; and several other books about the history and literature of the United States. He was an All-American sailor at Brown University and lives on Nantucket Island\, where he cofounded the Egan Maritime Institute. He is presently at work on a book about the California Gold Rush. \nThe Adult Book Club meets in-person at the Library on the second Friday of each month. If you have questions about the Book Club\, please email Linda Reimer: reimerl@stls.org \nCheck our calendar for future dates and book selections.
