    Eventually known by 1778 as the “father of his country,” George Washington’s life began along a well-laid course of social distinction among what was later dubbed the first families of Virginia. His father's death 1743, shortly after Washington's 11 birthday, made him a landowner and slaveholder, as well as caused him to shoulder early responsibility for his younger siblings. Unfortunately, it also deprived him of the chance for a formal education in England like that of his older half-brothers, a lack that led to Washington’s lifelong habit of continual self-education and dedicated reading.
