Follow the life of George Washington as he makes his way from being
a farmer to the first president of the United States of America.
Readers will learn all about his interesting and inspiring life in
this engaging biography that features informational text, vibrant,
detailed images and a timeline of Washington's life.
What if, at the dawn of the American nation, Army officers plotted
successfully to overthrow Congress and enthrone George Washington
as King of the United States?
Time has passed, and the year is 1925. Ravaged by more than a
century of revolutions, the Union is falling apart. American King
Augustine grovels at the feet of the British Empire, begging aid
for his bankrupt kingdom. His war against the Republic of Louisiana
is a resounding disaster. Repeatedly smashed by the enemy, the
starved U.S. Army is fleeing the battlefield.
An evil cult on the loose in the nation's capital of
Philadelphia has thrown the city into a hysterical frenzy.
Unfortunately for the royals, the cult's main gateway to Hell is
hidden somewhere in the palace.
The kingdom is desperate for a warrior saint to deliver it from
evil. Americans look to His Royal Highness Crown Prince Johnny
Washington-Bourbon as the perfect savior. He flies combat missions
and heals with his touch. The people adore him. Sworn enemies put
aside their differences to join his crusade.
There's just one problem--twelve-year-old Johnny has far more
courage than common sense, and his harebrained schemes to save
America are disasters waiting to happen.
