I just watched the History Channels 3 Episode documentary about George Washington & the one they did on Abraham Lincoln also yesterday. The also have on FDR, etc. You should watch them JD, they're well worth the time invested. 2 things you might want to know; Washington's teeth were also made out teeth, not only animal & human cadaver teeth but he also had actually paid his slaves for having them extracted, to be used in his false teeth. The other one they talked about was how he died. Yes, he had an infection in his throat but the modern Dr.'s who did a forensic autopsy of Washington, said that it was more than likely he had died from blood loss due to the blood letting practice. He had repeatedly told them to keep doing the blood letting until the end when he said 'no more'. He had also told Martha to wait 3 days before burying him. He was afraid if being buried alive, as most people were in that era. Out of all of the documentaries I've watched over the year's, these are the best I've ever seen. I promise you won't regret watching them JD. P.S. I also started watching their documentary on FDR & to answer the question regarding his leg braces, FDR wore them under his slacks, so as not to be visible by the public. Just as he hid his braces, he also had his cars created with the steering column leavers which controlled the breaking & gas controls, so he could still drive. He refused to be viewed as a cripple on the public & world's stage. His eldest son was always by his side, to help his father in any way he could. Whether it be helping him dress, pushing his wheelchair or helping him walk on stage for speeches, he was always by his fathers side. That is the true devotion of a son for his father. I think they should do a documentary for Eleanor Roosevelt & his family also. She was a woman of strength, a woman of knowledge & ideas way beyond her times. I would have loved to have met them in person & talked to them on a personal level.

Yet he chose to set a positive example for the future. I know he wasn't perfect but the truth is, he gave our country so much. Given these feelings, my visit there was a powerful experience, especially viewing his final resting place, the doors of which were open when I was there. I am so grateful to those who've worked to preserve Mt Vernon for future generations.

When I visited Mount Vernon there was mentioned that the Apple Trees in the adjacent garden were originally planned by George. I just loved the outhouses that are strategically placed on the perimeter for the benefit to give nutrition to the garden. I wonder if his glasses were designed by Franklin. Not only was farming his passion, but he applied agricultural science techniques that were not well known and/or practiced at the time. No wonder George marched an army to smash the "Whiskey Rebellion" in Western Pennsylvania; he didn't like the competition not paying taxes. PBS did a documentary on the extensive Fish Business of Washington and added an example of the Dining at Mount Vernon in association with his wealth. Notice that he gave Fish as a daily ration to the Slaves; they ate nutritionally well for the times. Wow, I never knew about the canal. Notice many depictions of Washington never smiling and having puffed out cheeks - teeth. I think the reason that Washington, D.C. was chosen was to appease Virginia - the Southern Sphere of Thought and New England in the Northern Area on an acceptable location for the Central Government. Doctor Benjamin Rush - Founder & Signer of the Declaration of Independence - "Bled" George which made him too weak to fight the infection and this practice was common at the time. Surprised they didn't build an enclosure for the second tomb. Great Museum. I always felt that 'Providence' chose the only person capable to lead the military and to become the first Presidential Leader for our Country, the United States of America.

Ty for a stroll down Amnesia Lane: I visited Mount Vernon and Monticello in the summer of '86 while a Capitol Hill intern & Georgetown summer student. I didn't make it to the homes of Madison & Monroe: still on my bucket list 🤓🤓

I saw that vault at the capital. I was given a "behind the scenes" tour when I was there in 99!
