General Washington as an Inventor and Promoter of the Useful Arts (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781175932174)

This historical work, "General Washington as an Inventor and Promoter of the Useful Arts," explores a lesser-known aspect of George Washington's life and legacy. Beyond his military and political achievements, Washington possessed a keen interest in innovation and technological advancement. The book delves into his contributions to the "useful arts," highlighting his efforts to promote and develop new technologies within the fledgling United States.

Based on a presentation given at the Patent Centennial Celebration in Washington, D.C., in 1891, this detailed study by Joseph M. Toner offers a unique perspective on Washington's vision for a prosperous and technologically advanced nation. It remains a valuable resource for historians and anyone interested in the intersection of history, technology, and biography.
