"George Washington's cows were kept upstairs,And given their own special room.They never were seen by light of day.No matter for what or by whom."These cows are just the beginning of George's problems.

And then there are the sheep--all of them smarter than Tom Jefferson, with degrees (no to say "sheepskins") to prove it. What's a Father of his country to do?David Smalll puts a hilariously sticky fingerprint on the well-polished veneer of American history, showing readers what really went on in the home of our first President.

George Washington slept, worked, and fought here . . . A historian’s guide to Virginia sites and landmarks associated with the Founding Father. Born in the Tidewater region, George Washington was reared near Fredericksburg and took up residence at Mount Vernon along the Potomac River. As a young surveyor, he worked in Virginia’s backcountry. He began his military career as a Virginia militia officer on the colony’s frontier. The majority of his widespread landholdings were there—and his entrepreneurial endeavors ranged from the swamplands of the Southeast to the upper Potomac River Valley. In this book, historian John R.
