Uncle Rick reads Nellie Custis - Daughter of Mount Vernon [Audio download]

Have you ever wondered what would it be like to grow up in George Washington’s family?  Nelly Custis knew! When Washington married the widow Martha Custis, they adopted Martha’s little granddaughter, Nellie, and her brother. So it was that a fatherless little girl became the apple of the General’s eye.

Now you can see the great man through a daughter’s eyes and go with the family through the pleasant years at Mount Vernon, eight years in New York and Philadelphia while Washington was president, and finally home to Mount Vernon once again.  Experience the magic of life on a Virginia plantation as well as the bustle of big-city living. Meet the General and his charming wife, the home folks of Mount Vernon, and many of the most famous names of the early American nation.  Here’s what it was really like!
