High Plains Western Heritage Center

Join us for a conversation with Author Gary L. Gregg on his new book:  George Washington - Citizen, Soldier, Statesman.

Join us for a conversation with author Gary L. Gregg about the life of George Washington. George Washington: Citizen, Soldier, Statesman is a timely reminder that contrary to his grand visage on Mount Rushmore, Washington was not born to greatness—he earned it. The third son in a family of middle-class farmers, young George was left with inferior lands and no prospect of receiving a formal education when his father died while he was just a boy. Knowing that he would have to make his own way in the world, Washington worked to better himself, built a vast personal fortune, dedicated his life to public service, and seized opportunities few others would have dared to embrace. Author Gary L. Gregg II highlights the crucial moments of Washington’s career to demonstrate that he was not just a great man, but a good one, who set an example worthy of emulation.George Washington: Citizen, Soldier, Statesman is the second book in the South Dakota Biography Series: Faces of Mount Rushmore, which highlights the presidents depicted on the national memorial and other figures connected with its history.Event is co-hosted with Henry's Books. Books will be available to purchase courtesy of Henry's.
