 George_Washington
George Washington (February 22, 1732 – December 14, 1799) was the successful Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army in the American Revolutionary War from 1775 to 1783, and later became the first President of the United States, an office to which he was elected unanimously twice, and remained in from 1789 to 1797.
Washington was perhaps the wealthiest American at the time; his western lands were potentially valuable--but no one lived on them as yet.
It was part of his self-structured image as Cincinnatus, the citizen who takes on the burdens of office as a civil duty.
