When George Washington was a boy there was no United States. The land was here, just as it is now, stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific; but nearly all of it was wild and unknown. Between the Atlantic Ocean and the Alleghany Mountains there were thirteen colonies, or great settlements. The most of the people who lived in these colonies were English people, or the children of English people; and so the King of England made their laws and appointed their governors. | Four Great Americans Washington Franklin Webster Lincoln 1 Four Great Americans Washington Franklin Webster Lincoln The Project Gutenberg EBook of Four Great Americans Washington Franklin Webster Lincoln by James Baldwin This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever.
