As the American Indians carefully choose sides, George Washington gets an opportunity to prove his military capability and resolve, which strategically places him on this miraculous journey to becoming the first president of the United States of America. This story is not only filled with physical danger from the elements, but also the dangerous opposing parties make every decision a life or death one.

George Washington

Everyone knows George Washington, the first president of the United States, but few know about his journey to become the first president. He is young, confident, bold and humble as an officer in the Virginia Militia. Throughout his young military career there were many instances where he narrowly escapes death to become one of the most important men in U.S. history.

Christopher Gist

As a colonial British explorer, surveyor and frontiersmen, Mr. Gist was one of the first to explore the Ohio Country. His experience provided critical support for George Washington in the wilderness as they journeyed through harsh terrain to deliver an important message about troops in the Ohio Valley. Christopher Gist is reported to have saved Washington's life at least twice during their journey.

Sally Fairfax

Born into one of Virginia's wealthiest and oldest families, Sally married George William Fairfax and became the mistress of the estate of Belvoir. Sally had been well-educated under the Colonel's supervision, and as a young man with limited education and inexperienced in climbing the social ladder, Washington was impressed with this attractive, popular, and intelligent woman—arguably viewing her as the ideal of womanhood.

Indian Guide

On Washington and Gist's journey through the wilderness to deliver Washington's report, they required a native guide who could help them through the snow covered landscape. The brave Ottowa Indian did what he thought was best for his people but it ultimately ended in a frightening situation for Washington and Gist.

Martha Custis

At age 18, Martha married a rich planter, Daniel Custis. Upon her marriage, she became a member of the elite society and used every opportunity to learn about what was happening throughout the colonies. Martha is a bold, educated woman who speaks her mind and isn't intimidated by anyone.

Abraham

Abraham was one of the Fairfax's slaves who in this story is a refined gentlemen who cares for everyone in the household. He is smart and aware of everything going on in the house. Abraham doesn't hesitate to warn young George Washington of the dangers that lie ahead of him.
