If you want to get a good idea of what George Washington the man was like, read this book
http://www.amazon.com/George-Washingtons-War-Revolutionary-Presidency/dp/140220406X/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1330603066&sr=1-2
“George Washington's War” by Bruce Chadwick. He had what many would consider an extreme sense of justice. He had many men flogged or hung for desertion, but at the same time refused the Continental Congresses orders to confiscate provisions for his Army and made sure the founders bills were paid.
