so now we come to george washington. stuart, as i said earlier, his whole point of coming to america was to make his painting of washington. the history of the paintings of washington are complicated. he came to philadelphia and had the letter of introduction from john jay. surprisingly enough, washington was willing -- i think he invited him that very evening and he was going to sit the next morning. so the first portrait that stuart did of washington is called the lansdowne portrait. it was commissioned by someone named vaugn. stuart did the portrait and immediately had 33 patrons who wanted copies of that portrait. so he made maybe 12 or 13 copies and then he got tired of doing that. by that time, and we have a vaugn portrait downstairs, but not on view. for a while it was thought that ours might be the original, but it is probably a very early copy, because stuart, late in his writings, wrote that he had rubbed that one out, because in the midst of making replicas of the portrait he got another commission from martha

george washington is no dummy. he does not want to keep bringing people from out vernon to philadelphia, have them for six months and then have them walk away with compensation. what washington did was every five months and a couple of weeks, he would decide to take his household fact to mount vernon. and then, they would turn around and go back to pennsylvania starting the six-month clock all over again. he did this over and over during his time in pennsylvania to ensure that the slaves would not be freed. none of his slaves were dummy. -- dummies. they knew what he was doing at this point. that is why one of his slaves took this opportunity to actually escape from george washington. her name was oney judge. she was martha washington's personal mate. she had been with the washingtons her entire life. she was born into slavery with the washingtons. and she had been with them her entire life. as the president's term was winding down, oney judge saw backif she ever stepped onto mount vernon she would never escape. wh

now we kick off the weekend with th who recounts george washington's journey. >> currently the james marsh professor at large at the university of vermont a guggenheim fellow, professor t.h. breen has taught classes at oxford, yale, university of chicago and also northwestern university which he just retired from. he's written several books on an early american history on subjects ranging from the tobacco culture of early tidewater planters to the consumer politics of the american revolution. his new book tells a story about journeys george washington took during his first term in office and during the account of the travels, professor t.h. breen demonstrates the importance of the ambitious trip. in the review of the renowned historian notes it's hard to think anything new could be said about george washington, but he's done it and he's given us new insight into the acute political skill of the first president in the state of the country in the 1790s. please join me in welcoming professor timothy breen. [applause] thank you for coming out. coming from vermont i need not apologize the

george washington did it. when you launch -- send an army into indian company, the objective is not usually to find indian warriors and meet them in battle. the objective is to find indian villages and indian cornfields and burn them. that was how we defeated indians. in the 19th century on the great plains where people were hunting ,uffalo, we did the same thing by destroying indian villages in winter, killing their pony herds, and also systematically exterminating the buffalo. by doing that, you render women and children hungry. comes, they have no chance -- choice but to come into the reservation. the same thing applies in the 18th century. destroy the cornfields. there's no time to replant another crop. that's how you defeat the indians. that's what palmer essentially does. he marches into ohio indian country, burns villages, and destroys crops. wheneal casualties occur their armies turn around to head home. indian people who evaporated in their advance come back. at the time he goes home, he suffers 200 c

a birthday cake for george washington. and as you might, as you might not be surprised, people weren't very happy about the fact that they were going to write a book about how happy these people were to be enslaved and baking a birthday cake for george washington. when i heard about this i'm like, wait a minute, i know that name. the person that the book was going to be about was a slave named hercules. hercules was one of these white house slaves that i write about. and i want to read you a little bit about him because, as you can see from the reading, hercules wasn't very happy to be a slave. now, to set this up, george washington never actually lived inside the white house. he lived in executive mansions in both and philadelphia. and this, at this time period george washington is getting ready to end his second term as president, and he's getting -- and hercules is with him in the executive mansion, in the president's house which is actually still there in philadelphia. so i'll pick up there. hercules was a clear favori

[bidding occurs] >> my name is carol and i served as the curator here at mount delightnd it has been a to work with the team to think about the acquisition of this. george washington is exacting with his books and takes great care of them. he has them in beautiful shells in his library and we learned that he takes great care with each individual volume and often puts a flourish in the right-hand corner of the title has the important fromthat he ordered england and he gets them as early as 1771 before the revolution and they had the coat of arms with his name and his motto on them and he puts them on the inside cover of the volume and this was probably pretty special to him. he had his signature on the title page. what is more unusual is the notes in the margin and we marginalia. see any there are scribbles in some founding documents as they tried to tin

is the first time we will not have george washington as our president. george washington was the only man to be unanimously elected for president. he did not run for office. at the end of his first term, he did not even run for a second term. he is unanimously reelected. at the end of the second term, people tried to talk him into a third, but he's not having it. he wants to retire. it's someone else's turn. he will step aside for john adams. we do not know if this works. we have never actually changed our president. will the people accept this? we don't know. the other thing, john adams was contested in his election. he had to fight a battle against his opponent, who was thomas jefferson. these two were friends. obviously they wrote the declaration of independence together. it is, for us, today, a normal presidential election. we have never had a president who only got half the vote, we have never had a president who really had to fight for an election, and of course, the other problem in those early days, if you come in second, you are vice president,

he like this dress for pennsbury i think washington -- by the way, i fall in love with george washington. that in some ways not easy to do. i think he's really very, very important. we always, and i've fallen in love, everybody is in love with lincoln, washington always seems somewhat more austere and distant figure. and, indeed, he shows up at any thinking. but look where his right hand and arm rests on the shoulder of young george washington custis, known to the family as washy. george washington custis come if you look down here you'll see that he has a compass in his hand and his hand is resting on the globe of the world. and surely we've got to see that george washington custis is the future of the country. didn't exactly work out that way for george washington custis, some of you might know, but that doesn't matter. this is democracy coming down through washington, through george washington custis, and spreading across the world. and on this side of course we have martha washington and john eleanor our nellie custis and martha washington of course has her hand on what is so importa

because george washington was losing the war. this man had been very successful in european battles. he was short. had a lot of european connections. he thought he could bring all of those. he was convinced, even know he didn't know english and he did not know the first thing about frontier fighting. he thought he could do it. his master plan was to become king of the new republic. unfortunately, or fortunately, dekalb said that there was no way that was going to happen. he found that the american congress was so tired up for doing anything, that of course, he would never want to go there and be in such a paltry situation. it was hard for the french officers not to say something about how the americans were dressed. anyway, lafayette manages over six weeks -- buys all kinds of things. and manages to get after six weeks to philadelphia. of course, by that time congress had had its fill with french officers who could look down their noses at how bad things were. but were not very successful or do not speak english. lafayette made a

george washington custus was a bit of disappointment to his step grandfather, george. there is some letters that say, he is not doing so well in school but he really, as of course washington died without issue. those cusstus children, especially george washington custus held the mantle, took the mantle of washington. and he created the custut mansion on the hill over looking the city and i'm sure you've been there to the mansion itself, you've seen the slave quarters behind it. it is quite a remarkable place. it was filled with memorabilia of washington. he then became a playwrite who wrote some of the most insipient, awful words i have ever seen. i copy a few of them in the book but he married off one of his daughters to a lee. and it became then, and then it became robert e. lee's. so in the civil war it was taken over and then you'll see, if you read a little bit montgomery banks, who he became really virulent anti-confederate and kept moving the graves, closer and closer to the mansion itself. so it is really, the mansion has a wonderful history of its own. and i t

there were many claimants, of whom the most persistent was a gentleman named george washington bowen, who claimed to be her illegitimate son by george washington from her days in providence to you laugh, but she brought her case all the way to the supreme court. there was a lot of litigation. when she died in 1865, as late as the 1890's, the lawyers who had represented the various parties in the estate litigation were still fighting among themselves over the legal fees. it went on and on. yes? that's a difficult question to answer. she died in 1865. by 1884, the, her family had reached settlements with all of the semi-valid claimants. the last bits of the estate were not sold until 1888. but as late as the end of the century, maybe even 1903, there was someone who claimed to have inherited george washington bowen's claim to the estate, and the best-selling pieces of the jumel estate, which by then belonged to other people. so he got into quite a bit of legal trouble over that. died in terms of actual sales -- or but in terms of actual sales of the estate, i would say it ended in 1888.
