George Washington rose from anonymity as a minor landowner and surveyor to become America's first national hero. With no military training he led the thirteen fledgling colonies through five years of gruelling war against England, steering proceedings of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia and served two terms as the first president of the United States.
