Evidence (2015-01-01): Washington and the New Agriculture [...] On 6 Aug. 1786 Washington sent him a grateful response. "Agriculture has never been amongst the most favorite amusements of my life, though I never possessed much skill in art, and nine years' total inattention to it, has added nothing to a knowledge which is best understood from practice; but with the means you have been so obliging as to furnish me, I shall return to it (though rather late in the day) with hope & confidence" (Rosenbach Foundation, Philadelphia). Washington ask Young to sent him two plows with extra shares and coulters and the best varieties of cabbage, turnip, sainfoin, winter vetch, and ryegrass seeds, as well as any other grasses which might seem valuable. One of Washington's great preoccupations, during his whole career in agriculture, was finding the right crops for the soil, climate, and practical needs of his Mount Vernon establishment. His determination to throw off the bondage of single-crop farming seemed at times almost too dogged. The number of field crops he raised, attempted to raise, or at least experimented with on a small scale is well above sixty. In a set of "Notes & Observations" he kept for 1785-86 (George Washington Papers, Library of Congress) he mentions planting barley, clover, corn, carrots, cabbage, flax, millet, oats, orchard grass, peas, potatoes, pumpkins, rye, spelt, turnips, timothy, and wheat.

Evidence (2021-12-15): Indeed, a significant strength of this volume is its nuanced attention to Washington’s lifelong absorption of British Enlightenment "improving" ideas. These came through his readings in enduring agricultural classics, such as Jethro Tull’s "Horse-Hoeing Husbandry" (1731), a book that stressed the advantages to be gained for soils by plowing fields. Thomas Hale’s four-volume "A Compleat Body of Husbandry" (1758-59) was another of Washington’s favorites. Ideas also came via personal correspondence with "improving" authors. Foremost here were the English agriculturalist Arthur Young and Scottish Enlightenment figures, such as Sir John Sinclair and James "Bee" Anderson of Edinburgh. Washington learned from all of them and encouraged others to do so as well. The president even recommended Anderson — whose periodical, the Bee, Washington promoted in the Gazette of the United States — for membership in the American Philosophical Society. Neither did Washington overlook contemporary American agricultural innovators. Some of that set and their activities remain well-known — Thomas Jefferson and his experiments at Monticello, for instance. Others, renowned in the 18th century, are now largely forgotten, among them members of the Philadelphia Society for Promoting Agriculture such as John Beale Bordley, Richard Peters and Samuel Powel. Their society, founded in 1785, named Washington an honorary member. He fit in.

Evidence (2024-01-01): The following is a list of quotations misattributed to George Washington that have been sent to the Mount Vernon library in recent years. This list will continue to grow as research staff at Mount Vernon become aware of other misattributed or false statements that have been cited as belonging to Washington. When available, an example of this misquote is provided in context, including published books, speeches and periodicals. [...] The library has yet to find an explanation for this misquote or locate another individual who said this statement. This quote is found in agricultural publications as early as the 1830s. A similar quote is expressed by George Washington in a letter written to John Sinclair, 20 July 1794: "I know of no pursuit in which more zeal & important service can be rendered to any Country than by improving its agriculture—its breed of useful animals—and other branches of a husbandman’s cares…" [...] Searches of all Washington papers and writings did not reveal this quote or any similar statements. The source of this quote may been inspired by the story of the "senatorial saucer" which is based on a supposed breakfast meeting between Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. The story received widespread circulation when it appeared in Harper's New Monthly Magazine in January 1884. It is unknown if a this or a similar conversation ever took place.

Evidence (2024-09-01): Although shoes are about fashion, perhaps even more importantly, they are about function. As any podiatrist will tell you (and mine has), your feet are your body’s foundation. Wearing good shoes can help you feel your best and prevent injuries. They serve as a protection from disease, injury and the natural elements. In many areas of the world, where sanitation is poor and disease is widespread, going without shoes makes one especially susceptible to parasitic worms and other foot infections. Those diseases can not only be debilitating but in fact lethal. Wearing the right shoes enables you to move well and offer comfort with proper support and cushioning. Furthermore, appropriate footwear can also obviate conditions such as calluses, bunions and plantar fasciitis.

As Sophia Webster, a famed British shoe designer, wisely said, "When life gives you lemons, sell them and buy shoes."
