Book Cover & Preview Text
If George Washington saw his face on the one-dollar bill, just how would he feel?
Looking back at his accomplished life, George
Would definitely remember the harsh winter at Valley Forge,
And how he bravely led his army corps
Against the British in the Revolutionary War.
He was the leader of the Continental Army, not to mention,
He led the Constitutional Convention.
In 1789 he became the nation's first president,
And to the Bill of Rights he did consent.
He signed a bill creating the Bank of the United States,
And he certainly would appreciate
The sight of his face on the one-dollar bill.

About the Book
Did the early leaders of our nation truly realize they were making history – so much so that their pictures would exchange hands millions of times a day? Call it what you want – moolah, greenbacks, smackers, dough or cold, hard cash – the question still remains: if these early leaders were alive today to see their faces on United States currency, how would they feel? What extraordinary memories would they have? What wisdom would they share? In this creative, historically rich reflection, Autumn Kirsch explores the impact these leaders had in shaping the United States, through the lens of the leaders themselves, all while helping you brush up on your knowledge of who’s who on the front of each dollar bill denomination.
