Potomac Squire offers a definitely new approach to a human being too little known George Washington The man here portrayed is not the history book image, as stiff and conventional as the Gilbert Stuart portraits, but rather the Virginia gentleman, the Tidewater farmer and burgess, the planter and good neighbor, the husband and the stepfather Potomac Squire is a portrait faithful, detailed, always fascinating of the Washington who at 27 retired to marry a housewifely little widow with 2 children and a substantial income; the fox hunting country squire and gentleman farmer who thought, acted, and lived in the best 18th century style
