“ A NEW and very interesting exposition of the development of George Washington is presented in this book, that of the gradual evolution of his attitude toward slavery Mr. Mazyck follows it carefully from his boyhood till his death, with much quoted material from Washington's journals and letters and from his biographers, and with constant reference in comment and explanation to the central thread of his exposition.”
 
Book has the personal bookplate of civil right author Lawrence J. W. Hayes.  Mr. Hayes work included a 1941 study on “The Negro Federal Government Worker, 1933-1938”.  Mr. Hayes’ study showed that of over 8,000 black federal workers, 90% were custodial while .5% were scientific or professional.
