Stephen Yoch to Speak at Rotary

ATTENTION ALL HISTORY BUFFS!

Local author Stephen Yoch will talk about his new book, Becoming George Washington, at the December 10 Richfield Rotary breakfast meeting at Richfield Champs. Long before Washington was the old man on the dollar bill, he was a fatherless boy with few resources and even less education. So how did he become the most famous person in American history?

Becoming George Washington tells the story of a young man with boundless energy, bravery, and passion, who grew from a fatherless boy into a self-confident leader. At the same time, he struggled to suppress both an awful temper and his love for a married woman, Sally Fairfax. A courageous war hero, Washington rose to the pinnacle of Virginia politics. His experiences as a young man allowed him, decades later, to lead the Revolution.
