by a man who knew him, served in the Army with him and was current with many of Washington's personal acquaintances. There are a number of other listings on Gutenberg.org, for instance, by Henry Cabot Lodge and by Washington Irving - all free.

Sacred Fire is without a doubt one of the best.
Ping, to your historical brain.
1776 by David McCullough is a very good book that has plenty of info on George.
A decent read that I got from the Library once was called “His Excellency”.
They did not know how The President would be addressed, so they started with this. Washington didn’t care for it and so suggested simply “Mr. President”
Noemie Emery’s biography is excellent. She is a conservative writer and pundit who writes for the Weekly Standard and Washington Examiner, among other publications.
Douglas Southall Freeman, life of Washington in five volumes
Angel in the Whirlwind by Benson Bobrick is good.
You might want to try GEORGE WASHINGTON, THE IMAGE AND THE MAN by W.E. Woodward. I read it about 25 years ago and it has always remained in my memory as depicting George Washington as a real person and not some mythical superhuman figure. The book was originally printed in 1922 but has been reprinted since. It is available on Amazon at various prices.
The books recommended are good, reading his letters at the Library of Congress is awesome!

Washington: A Life. By Ron Chernow. Has a lot about his home life in it.
Douglas Southall Freeman has the most comprehensive series. Also, “The Indispensible Man” is a good single-volume work, and short.
