This provocative study of a long-standing historical question, first published in 1948, challenges the popular assumption that George Washington rejected the idea of becoming king during the early years of the United States. Arthur Talmage Abernethy and Samuel Whitaker Pennypacker argue that the evidence suggests otherwise, and that Washington's actual views on the subject were far more complex and nuanced than is commonly believed. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the political and cultural debates of the late 18th century, and offers a fresh perspective on one of America's most iconic figures.
