"Powerful Virginia elders, who saw much of loose living and indolence around them, found stimulation and reassurance in a young man of unassailed morals and of mature, sound judgment, who was full of energetic vigor and was devoted to the defense of a people slow and slothful in defending themselves."
(from Volume 2 of Doughas Southall Freeman's Pulitzer Price-winning biography of George Washington)
