Book Synopsis
George Washington's life has been scrutinized by historians over the past three centuries, but the day-to-day lives of Mount Vernon's enslaved workers have been largely left out of the story. Drawing on years of research in a wide range of sources, Mary Thompson offers the first comprehensive account of those who served in bondage at Mount Vernon.
