Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. MY earliest recollection Of the picture Of the face Of any man is that Of the Father Of his Country. The first and for many years the only pictures that hung on the wall Of the Old fashioned sitting room in our southern Indiana home were those Of George and Martha Washing ton. The story Of the hatchet and cherry tree was one Of the constructive influences in my life. As children we never tired Of hearing stories Of this great man. Later, in school, as we studied the history Of our country, and his part in it, he became to us a sort Of demigod. Could a real man do what Washington did? He seemed to be the special care of Providence.
