This book, a spirited addition to the series, traces the lineage of the Washington family back to the 13th century, drawing on feudal records, legal documents, and the results of many archeological digs. The author explores the history of the family's rise to prominence in 15th century, paying particular attention to the lives of John, the first Washington to settle in Sulgrave, Northamptonshire, and Lawrence Washington, who emigrated to Virginia in the 17th century and became the great grandfather of George Washington. Alongside this portrait of the family's past, the book places the Washingtons within the context of the socio-economic changes taking place in England during this period, and it is here that this book truly excels, reframing the story of one family as part of the larger march towards modernity.
