This film tells the life story of the father of his country, by showing the scenes and things closely connected with his illustrious career. Washington's birthplace at Wakefield on the Potomac; Alexandria, the town he helped to survey when he was 16 years old; Old Christ Church, where he worshiped; Carlyle House, where he received his commission as Major in the British army; his headquarters at Valley Forge, and other scenes at this spot where the little Continental army went through such horrors of starvation and cold. Independence Hall, Philadelphia, where he received his commission as Commander in Chief. Betsy Ross's house, where he in company with two other gentlemen, received the first flag of the Union. Yorktown, where he accomplished the unprecedented victory and received the surrender of Cornwallis. The remains of the house where he spent his honeymoon. Pictures of his swords, uniforms and Revolutionary camp kit. Some of his letters, showing his signature, and finally his magnificent home to which he retired to private life, Mt. Vernon on the Potomac, and his simple but stately tomb. The film ends with a picture of Washington and the flag in colors, and makes a unique and absolutely unsurpassed picture for a Fourth of July celebration.
