** "The Youth of Washington: Told in the Form of an Autobiography" by S. Weir (Silas Weir) Mitchell is a 20th-century narrative presented as the memoirs of George Washington, chronicling his early life and growth until the precipice of his prominent role in history. Through a biographical approach, the story examines Washington's evolution, beginning with his post-presidency reflections on his life and the significance of his past. He thinks about his family history, the impact of his early development and learning, and his contribution to America's quest for self-determination. By looking at these early challenges, aspirations, and the forces that fostered his feeling of obligation and dignity, the beginning lays the groundwork for a greater understanding of the traits and experiences that molded Washington into the formidable leader he would eventually become. **
