We weren’t done with George Washington—not even close. In this bonus episode, we dig up the wild side quests and forgotten facts we missed the first time around.
Meet Lawrence, George’s hot-shot older brother who basically kickstarted the whole “military hero” storyline. Travel with young GW to Barbados (where he caught smallpox and lifelong immunity) and find out why his "wooden teeth” were actually just expensive and disgusting. Oh, and the cherry tree story? Total historical fanfic.
From forced inoculations to the Whiskey Rebellion (spoiler: he pardoned them!), George Washington somehow lives up to the myth. We didn’t believe it either—until now.
