George Washington – My Dear Grandpapa
The Fascinating Story of a Young Woman and Her Step-Grandfather, George Washington
Shortly after Washington’s great victory over the British at Yorktown personal tragedy strikes the family. Martha’s only surviving child dies of a camp fever while assisting his step-father as an aide. Jacky Custis not only leaves behind a young widow but also four small children. From this loss springs a new chapter in George Washington’s life – the day to day responsibilities of being a step-grandfather. Join Nelly as she reflects on her incredibly fortuitous beginnings for a young girl; listen as she describes living in the presidential mansions, and as she witnesses life being breathed into a new nation. George Washington is a courageous colonel from the French & Indian War, he is the commander of the Continental Army that defeats the British Empire to win independence, and now, he is the new nation’s first president. To Nelly, he is all of these things, but most of all, he is her Dear Grandpapa.
