GEORGE WASHINGTON

He was the first president and at the same time he was a farmer, so it was very difficult for him to be the two things at the same time . He was the dominant military and political leader of the new United States of America from 1775-1797.He had a big garden about thirty football fields. He had fences built in the garden so that deer would not pass.
After retiring from the presidency in March 1797, Washington returned to Mount Vernon with a profound sense of relief. He devoted much time to farming.
Today, Washington's face and image are often used as national symbols of the United States.

jaiotetxea da. Mount Vernonen, bere emaztea eta bere emaztearen semeak bizi ziren.
George Washingtonen etxeak eta lorategi guztiek, 3000 futbol zelaien tamaina dute. Etxea, oso koloretsua da barrutik . Logela bakoitzak kolore desberdinak eta biziak ditu.
