You Never Forget Your First (George Washington)

I read Alexis Coe's first book, a historical drama that has been made into a movie. This book was ready for me in March, but didn't pick it up in time when the NYPL closed. So, it was sitting on the reserve shelf a few blocks away without me having access.

Finally came in (probably not the same copy) recently. I enjoyed it, including its down to earth (but still serious) style with helpful charts and such summarizing various information. (Sarah Vowell's snark and asides after a while is laid on a bit too thick.) The book intentionally is a reasonable length (around two hundred pages) and at the start suggests it is trying to avoid the traditional "masculine" biographies. Not sure how much a "woman" touch here mattered as compared to not being stereotypically traditional. No photos.
