One of the best books I've read. It haunted me for days after because I could feel what she felt.


An Autobiography of George Washington As Told to His Scribe
Review Date: 11/26/2008


This is NOT a true autobiography by George Washington. In 1944 Edith Ellis claimed that the spirit of George Washington made contact with her requesting that she write his autobiography. So this book is his life "channeled" through Ms. Ellis during the 110 days she says the spirit was with her. If you want to read a true autobiography of George Washington this is probably not the book for you.
