George Washington Parke Custis (1781-1857) was raised at Mount
Vernon by George and Martha Washington. Young "Wash" appears in
Savage's 1789 painting of the first presidential family, his small
hand placed symbolically on a globe. He would later make his mark
on the national landscape by building Arlington House on the
Potomac. A poor student, he emerged as an agricultural reformer and
sought-after Federalist orator. He championed the plights of Irish
Americans and war veterans. An important memoirist, he wrote
well-received theatrical works and produced paintings rich in
historical detail. Inheriting much of the vast Custis fortune, he
also became the enslaver of more than 200 people. The slow march
toward their emancipation became the central struggle of his life,
particularly after his daughter's 1831 marriage to Robert E. Lee.
This first full-length biography of Custis offers a 21st century
reappraisal of life that dramatically bridged the American
Revolution and the Civil War.
