MORNING OF A HERO

by Burke Boyce ‧ RELEASE DATE: Oct. 23, 1963

Here is George Washington at 17, and what a marvelous lad: quaffing mugs of whiskey and buying drinks for the house; surveying Lord Fairfax's colossal acreage and living in the Virginia wilderness; cavorting and wrestling at tribal dances of the Delaware Indians (""benighted, innocent savages""); writing love poetry and in love with his best friend's wife. The variety in Mr. Boyce's portrait is a revelation, and the scenes have a rain-clear reality.
