Rediscovering George Washington
URL: http://www.pbs.org/georgewashington/

Description:
Companion website to this 2002 documentary that "discusses three character traits which allowed [George Washington] to gain and wield power - skill as a warrior, charisma, and political savvy -- and three traits which taught him to use it justly and to give it up -- devotion to right ideas, civility, and magnanimous renunciation." Features essays, lesson plans, timelines, readings (audio uses an outdated version of a media player, but text is available), documents, and more.
