The Life of Washington, by John Marshall (free audio book)

If it be true that it takes a great man to interpret the life of a great man then Bushrod Washington made no mistake in the selection of a biographer. For Marshall, under the influence of Washington, came to be nearly as great a man as the character whose life and achievement held his deepest thought for nearly a quarter of a century. . . . Marshall's sympathetic understanding of his subject, his firsthand knowledge of events with his remarkable powers of expression qualified him to produce the masterpiece that has come down to us.

I went looking around recently to see if there were other books that I should potentially put on my list of future projects, but was happy to see that this one has already been completed.

That's just less work I have to do.

Even better, all 5 volumes are completed and as solo recordings. I do not think this is the best work I have heard but there are may be professionally done versions available.
