i have read several books about washington, as well as the other founding fathers. amazing we had so many right men for the job, they were all around when we needed them most. he was imposing-and very standoffish. matter of fact, a man was dared to go up to washington at a social gathering and pat him on the back when he said hello. he said the look he got made him very, VERY sorry for doing so! lol it's funny how many places you can visit up and down the east coast and see signs saying 'washington slept here'.
