Washington's Farewell Address

By: George Washington

Narrated by: Larry G. Jones

After 20 years in public service, George Washington turned down a third term as president with this memorable farewell address. In it, he implores the American public to be united above all else, putting aside fervor for their political parties and state lines. He also warns against forming long-term partnerships with foreign nations. Originally this was a 32-page document that was read and distributed widely throughout America after its initial publication, and it deserves the same avid listenership today.

The numerous mispronunciations, misread words, and omissions of the written text by this narrator were annoying. However, the original message of the author is highly recommended for your consideration and adoption.

Important History

Washington's Farewell Address was so respected and revered as not only history, but an inspiring charge that there used to be classes devoted to it. It no longer appears in history books, but I feel, should be something that every American reads. You get his heart, intent and charge to go forward as a unified nation when you read it. It is an important address and I think rather than reducing our history to bits and pieces with rhetoric and narrative, it is time to go to the source and read the speeches, letters, and articles of our founding fathers to understand their intent.

A must read for truth in our nation.
