George Washington at George Washington Statue at South Carolina Capitol, then at Cayce Historical Museum Grand Event

















The framed photos seen here are Mac screen shots of photographs by Miss Amanda Taylor of the Columbia Star newspaper.

A scan of part of the print version of her nice article is also provided, that is where Amanda quotes the Director of the Cayce Museum, Leo Redmond, about "Lord Cornwallis" and "George Washington", and then quotes "George Washington" on how he got into "this business" of being "the father of His country". That paper version of the Star was mailed to "George" by "Martha", Martha Chavis, that is.

The photos of the lovely little girl are by her proud as punch GrandMaMa, Martha Chavis.

The "father of His country" gives a hug to a lovely child of God named Christian, whose father serves in the military in Alaska, and who were visiting grandparents in Cayce. The little lady is the pride of her parents and her grand-parents, with the grandmother named Martha... a favorite name of George as you may well know.

A favorite pastime of "Good Old George" is to do his GrandPaPa George Revolutionary Reader Read-Alongs with children like Luke and Christian. {Contact GrandPaPa George at George@WashingtonLIVES.us to have him come to your community or school to do a "Revolutionary Reading".}

GW accepts Sword of Cornwallis in Surrender in league with Cayce Cadre




[Click on the image to the left to enlarge it, click again to magnify further so to see the faces and the words closely.]






Local elected servants of South Carolina gather with citizens led by Leo Redmond, director of the Cayce Historical Museum, in advance of the Celebration of the 225th Anniversary of the Battle of Fort Granby, 24 June anno domini 1781, at Cayce, South Carolina, a town that at the time was the principal commercial center in the Midlands, whereas Washington described Columbia as a patch of scrub and pine on his visit during his Southern Tour as President a decade later. Obviously, not in all things was George Washington's Vision for the Future prophetic.

Remember that in Charleston, Lincoln surrendered to the overwhelming force of his adversary, Clinton.

That is American hero and general, Benjamin Lincoln surrendered to British General Henry Clinton. Because of that, General George Washington thought "turn about is fair play" and so sent General Benjamin Lincoln, his Second in Command, to accept the surrender of the British Army at Yorktown.

Therefore, it was most fitting and proper that Charles, Lord Cornwallis, send his "Number Two", General O'Hara to surrender his sword to Lincoln at Yorktown. Yet ever the gentleman soldier, General Cornwallis graciously surrendered his sword to General Washington on this most auspicious occasion to honor the History of Cayce, South Carolina.

During the "Recent Unpleasantness" that locals describe as the "War of Northern Aggression" some Yankee soldiers broke off the end of the walking stick held by Washington, (as seen in the top left picture, behind General Washington's back) but the gentleman soldier, General Cornwallis offered his walking stick to General Washington to try to overcome, for a short time at least, the damage to America and all things American, of that later time in American History.

Just imagine, if every American had followed Washington's example and freed their slaves in their Last Will and Testament so to allow a gradual emancipation of the population to be assimilated into the economy of that time, so to avoid dislocation and even death by mass emancipation, then by 1850, or 1860 at the latest, there would have been no more slavery in America, and "Mr. Lincoln's War" would not have been fought, at least not for that reason.

And remember that William Wilberforce, who worked to eliminate slavery in the British Commonwealth was inspired in his actions by the words of the Founding Fathers in "this Constitution for the United States of America", the first national charter in the history of the world to have any limitation against slavery.

{Although Georgia, alone among the original thirteen states had in its original charter of anno domini 1732, also the year of Washington's birth, that two forms of slavery would not be allowed in the colony of Georgia, physical slavery, or "Slavery" as we know it today, and legal slavery. Originally lawyers were outlawed from Georgia because they cause "financial slavery" for citizens, and Georgia began as a debtors colony, men from Debtors' Prisons, imprisoned by laws and lawyers. Sadly, later, Georgia allowed both forms of Slavery.}

Do what you ask? You've heard our Constitution criticized because it did not abolish slavery then and there, but it did say in Article I, Section 9 that
"The Migration or Importation of such Persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the year one thousand eight hundred and eight..."


This clause was a compromise, for 20 years the Slave Trade would be allowed as legal to continue. But not necessarily for the "benefit" of the Southern States. Remember that one state boycotted the Constitutional Convention. Tiny Rhode Island, a "Northern State" did so, in part because from 1720 on to 1808, between 60 and 80 per cent of the American slave trade was carried in ships sailing out of tiny Rhode Island, slavery was a significant contributor to the economy of Rhode Island.

But look more carefully at the words used by the Founding Fathers: "Importation of such Persons...". The Founding Fathers did NOT use the words "slave", or "bond-servant", or "chattel", they used the word "Persons". The Constitution recognizes the "Personhood" of the black brothers in the hallowed words of this Miracle in Philadelphia.

The wise men who were the Founding Fathers elected George Washington to be the President at the Constitutional Convention in a.d. 1787. In a.d. 1786, Washington wrote to John Francis Mercer of Maryland saying, "There is not a man living who more desires to see the abolition of slavery than I do, but it must be done in gradual, peaceful means through legislation."

A year later, in the legislation of the Supreme Law of the Land, was planted the means for a gradual, peaceful abolition of slavery. The Founding Fathers believed that the abolishment of the Importation of Slaves would gradually end the Institution of Slavery, and likely would have done just that, except Technology intervened to make mince meat of those worthy aims.

In a.d. 1791, the Eli Whitney invented the Cotton Gin, that revived the failing economy of cotton farming, and so "King Cotton" was born. In the years after, most of the slaves in the northern states were "sold South" to the areas where "Cotton was King", and so the inspired dream ("I have a dream...") of the Founding Fathers to gradually eliminate slavery became a distant fading vision.

Decades as GW - Little Bear Wheeler as GW and GW Lives! meet in Virginia...

Much like "I dub thee Knight" with a sword touched on the shoulder of a Man of Honor, "George Washington LIVES!" places his sword on the shoulder of a great American Patriot and a most honorable man, Richard "Little Bear" Wheeler, who tells an awesome story of the life of America's primary patriot, George Washington.

This man is one who for decades has done much to revive and extend the honored name and reputation of the "father of His country", George Washington. Richard "Little Bear" Wheeler founded Mantle Ministries of 228 Still Ridge, Bulverde, TX 78163-1878. (830) 438-3777 to tell the story of GW and many other inspiring stories of our Godly heritage.
Learn more at http://mantleministries.com/biography/

"The Spirit of George Washington LIVES!", also known as James Renwick Manship, Sr., is a relative "newcomer" in the portrayal of George Washington, yet for six years has wanted to meet this great patriot, Little Bear Wheeler, who has done so much for the making the name of George Washington again a "National Treasure" in the hearts, minds, and souls of American youth, and their parents, too.

The photographs are by a home school graduate, Seth Fisher/Through My Lens Photography (www.throughmylensphotography.com), and sent to GW by Susannah Miller. Both are important parts of the future of America.

In Richmond at the Convention Center, not far from the Capitol of the Commonwealth of Virginia where there are two statues of George Washington, one an equestrian one outside and the famous Houdin statute inside the Thomas Jefferson designed Capitol building, in June anno domini 2006, finally these two "GW"s met, introduced by Mrs. Florence Feldman, organizer of the annual Home Educators of Virginia Annual Convention where Little Bear was the Star Attraction, and for good reason as Little Bear spun wide and wonderful stories that sparked stars in the eyes of the children and adults alike.

A few months before, on George Washington's Birthday, 22 February anno domini 2006, also in Richmond at the Library of Virginia, George Washington LIVES! gave his rendition of the story of the Making of George Washington as a boy up to becoming a fine young man. A few weeks later at the Alabama Home School convention in Birmingham, GW Lives! had copies of the wonderful book "The Making of George Washington" by Congressional Medal of Honor recipient BGEN William H. Wilbur that tells much the same story in the printed word.

Many in that Library of Virginia audience were at the Richmond Convention Center to see Little Bear tell his wonderful stories of George Washington, so the home school scholars got a double dose of GW, and with this picture are even seeing double!

These two "living portraits" of George Washington were anything but silent stone statues as they compared notes on the real George Washington they both so much admire and both feel so privileged to portray to audiences near and far, all across America, from Sea to Shining Sea, in 121 cities, towns and villages, 7 rivers and streams, 8 mountains, 9 to 19 colleges and universities, 10 lakes to 33 Washington Counties from Washington County Maine, to Washington, District of Columbia, to the first capital of Texas, Washington on the Brazos, to Washington State, the only state named for a President, America is the "Land of Washington"!


Oops! Good thing I was rendering Honors to this good man and great patriot, notice the three soldiers behind me who have their guns aimed at my head in protecting their alter ego, Little Bear Wheeler...

George Washington - Man of the Millennium - Millennium Year Tour of America!

In the Millennium Year of anno domini 2000, a journey of over 30,033 miles crossing America from Sea to Shining Sea was begun and completed in a five month period from Washington's Birthday, 22 February to twenty days beyond America's Birthday, 4 July.

The journey was called:
"The CROSSings: All Across America, Journey (with Jesus), by George! A Prayer Pilgrimage.

The Prayers of George Washington were prayed kneeling in the Capitol or on the grounds, morning and evening, in or at each of the 48 Continental State Capitols, and at least once at each of the 33 counties named for George Washington, as well as at many of the 121 towns, villages, and cities named for George Washington, all across America, this Land that is rightly called, "The Land of Washington".

There is an Op-Ed in The Washington Times in December a.d. 1999, that gives a description of the "Geography of America, by George!" that gives a hint at the immense impact that George Washington had on the formation of America -- and still has in influencing modern America.

The incredible "Journey, by George!" of over 30,033 miles was a "post-graduate" education to the "Nth Degree" beyond and above any Ivory Tower education degree in learning the full measure of the man and George Washington. The information acquired in this "Real World Classroom" was "PHD - Piled Higher and Deeper" than is done in any college classroom.

Other than a certificate from William and Mary College to be the County Surveyor for Culpeper, George Washington never received a degree from college. However, a professor at Harvard, Albert Bushnell Hart, once wrote: "George Washington was the best educated man of his time." "Best" means better than the other Founding Fathers like Adams and Jefferson.

This is the a.d. 1973 edition of "The Making of George Washington"




If you are interested in why the Harvard professor would say the "un-educated" (as measured by a college degree) George Washington was the "best educated" of the Founding Fathers, write a note below, including a request for the information, which will be sent to you, or go read "The Making of George Washington", by Congressional Medal of Honor winner BGEN William H. Wilburt in the a.d. 2005 edition by Patriotic Education, Inc, on pages 133-4.




These are the front and back covers of the a.d. 2005 edition of "The Making of George Washington", one of the finest books on Washington, and essential to understanding the true character of the man "first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen, he was second to none..."


If you want to become a "Master of American History" on George Washington, or his greatest life achievement, his presence and his presiding over the creation of "this Constitution FOR the United States of America"; or you seek to be a "Professor" (one who professes) of Republican Philosophy (as in a "republic", versus a "democracy", not speaking of political parties) and recognize the insult it would be to be called a "Doctor of Democracy", this website and related ones are the best place for you to be to become truly "educated".

And thank you for having the interesting in learning, or being "educated", even if you will not get a college degree with this education. (or at least not at this time, though the ConstitutionCollege.US site will be launched in the not too distant future, so to provide for our tomorrows, building up on our Heaven inspired past.)

George Washington Love Letter to Martha, 24 June a.d. 1776; Music by George Bush






[Click on images to enlarge,
click again to further magnify.]








To Mrs. Washington, & ct.

June 24, 1776

My dearest life and love,

You have hurt me, I know not how much, by the insinuation in your last, that my letters to you have lately been less frequent, because I have less concern for you. The suspicion is most unjust; -- may I not add, it is most unkind! Have we lived, now almost a score of years, in the closest and dearest conjugal intimacy to so little purpose, that, on appearance only of inattention to you, and which you might have accounted for in a thousand ways more natural and more probable, you should pitch upon that single motive which alone is injurious to me?

I have not, I own, wrote so often to you as I wished, and as I ought. But think of my situation, and then ask your heart, if I be without excuse.

We are not, my dearest, in circumstances the most favourable to our happiness; but let us not, I beseech thee, idly make them worse, by indulging suspicions and apprehensions which minds in distress are too apt to give way to.

I never was, as you have often told me, even in my better and more disengaged days, so attentive to the little punctilios of friendship, as, it maybe, became me; but my heart tells me, there was never a moment in my life, since I first knew you, in which I did not cleave and cling to you with the warmest affections… (continues…)

Now for the rest of the story…

The circumstances of which Washington writes were he was in the midst of moving the American Army from Boston to New York to prepare for the assault of 30,000 British troops! Ever the loving husband, might General Washington have had a few things to distract his attentions?

And the British were intercepting, and in this case publishing in the newspaper, Washington’s letters, so even while he was a loving husband writing home, we now know why Martha was not receiving his letters. Could this letter or others like it be why Martha burned near all their letters after he died?

Yet most important is how did Martha respond to her husband’s gentle chiding?
A “Lady Washington” song (recorded by Captain George Bush) tells that Martha left Mount Vernon and went to be with her beloved husband George at his winter encampment headquarters. While there Martha darned the socks, mended the uniforms, and nursed the sick soldiers. Martha showed signs of becoming a Biblical curse – “a nagging woman” (Proverbs 19:13, 21:9), yet instead became a Proverbs 31 “First Lady”!

This letter was discovered in the Rare Books Room of the Library of Congress on 12 February a.d. 2003, by George Washington scholar and historic interpreter James Renwick Manship, Sr., two days before he gave a “Love of Country” talk for Saint Valentine’ Day dinner.
-- For more information, please mail to: George@WashingtonLIVES.us or go to the website: StatesManship.US.

Journals of other Lady Patriots describe what a wonderful woman was the Lady Washington!

American Indian Museum George Washington Statue at Smithsonian




American Indian Museum of the Smithsonian Institution has in an alcove overlooking the Washington Mall and the top of the Washington Monument is an impressive sculpture of Washington with three American Indians.

There is a description of the great service of the Oneida Indian people to the American Army and the symbolism of the many features of the sculpture on the wall beside the creation, that is read to accompany the visual survey.


Most attractive to me was the image of the little Indian girl standing behind George Washington, looking up at him and the Indian Chief, two men who protect her.

{Click on the link below, or the title above to activate the Google Video link.}

On the National Day of Prayer, on the west lawn of the Capitol, a photograph of George Washington LIVES! with an Indian Chief and his wife was taken, that I pray I may obtain so to add to this posting of this "Journal, by George!"

This video was taken shortly after the National Day of Prayer in May, yet not prepared for posting until October after the 225th Anniversary of the Yorktown Victory in Jesus Celebrations, where George Washington LIVES! met an Indian lady, Mrs. Paige Archer at the Yorktown Museum and later at the library. The meeting with this fine Indian lady was the inspiration to find this video and post it for your viewing pleasure. Thank you, Mrs. Archer.

Point Paper on First Navy Flag, Many Images of Revolutionary War Flags


First Navy Flag = Liberty Tree "Appeal To Heaven" Flag: Point Paper on Why Yes to Liberty Tree Navy Flag, Why NO to Snake flag

True Tree of Liberty First Navy Flag
vs.
Fake Snake Navy Jack Flag


While well-meaning and begun by staff officers who did not know the Truth of early American history, the United States Navy is currently perpetuating an historical hoax, or a fraud, by the erroneous instruction that American Navy ships are to fly what is rightly called the "Fake Snake" Navy Jack Flag, that flag scholar Peter Ansoff has carefully researched and concludes never flew on an American Continental Navy ship.

On the other hand, in the hand writing, or penmanship, of Colonel Joseph Reed, the aide to General George Washington, Commander-in-Chief of all American Forces, Navy and Army, we have a description of the true First Navy Flag, that is rightly called the evergreen Tree of Liberty Flag, and is also known at the Washington Cruisers Flag, that first flew on or about 2 September in the Year of Our Lord 1775.

Statesmanship of George Washington PBS-Claremont Institute for Statesmanship... Website



A very fine website on Washington..."father of His country"


As the father of Robert E. Lee, Congressman and General Henry "Light Horse Harry" Lee said in his 26 December a.d. 1799 eulogy of Washington in the Congress"


"First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen, he was second to none..."

And as this website says above, Second to none including Lincoln, and Reagan, both of whom were wise enough to learn from Washington, and guide their actions as elected servants from the man who closed his letters with the words:

"Your most humble & obedient servant,".

Might our elected servants, and appointed servants such as judges, in all levels of government today learn that lesson from Washington, that each is a servant of the people, not the ruler of the people?

Washington and Lincoln


George Washington is so little taught in the modern public schools,

despite where by law passed by Congress in the 1950s, a picture of George Washington is to appear in the school if the school is to continue to receive federal funds,

and despite the fact that in 1982, President Reagan said,

"The most sublime picture in American History is of George Washington on his knees..."

and sadly, where now George Washington is too often vilified as a "brutal slaveholder"

by some teachers despite his unreported actions to bring an end to slavery,

...his letters to all the governors after the War for Independence to give emancipation and a plot of land to blacks who fought for America's liberty, and nine of 13 did so,

...his own efforts to have his people leave Mount Vernon to earn a living, land, and Liberty on his lands in the Ohio Territory,

...and including his personal example of freeing his slaves in his Last Will and Testament,

while his heirs provided a non-government funded pension plan for the aged and infirmed for over 33 years!

Yet all this and more is ignored, while Lincoln is deified by professors and educators as the "Great Emancipator",

so sometimes students try to taunt me with the question,

"What do you think of Lincoln?" with emphasis on "LINCOLN".

I reply,

"Lincoln? Lincoln was a great patriot. I thought so much of Lincoln that I named him to receive the surrender of the British at Yorktown!"

When they look at me dumbfounded, I continue.

"Yes, my close friend, Major General Benjamin Lincoln, my number two, my second in command."

"You look confused. Did you mean Levi Lincoln, Attorney General to President Jefferson?"

"Or the man who in 1867, patented the "Wheel of Life", or the motion picture camera, William Lincoln?"

"Or did you mean the man who invented the Lincoln automobile, Henry Selden? Henry was the son of George Seldon, who said no to Abraham Lincoln when he was asked to be Vice President in the election of 1864, and so would have become President when Lincoln died."

But that begs the true history question, "Who killed Lincoln?"

Have you been taught "Southern sympathizer and actor John Wilkes Booth"?

It is true Booth shot Lincoln (President, not General Lincoln), but likely Booth did not kill Lincoln.

What is the Truth, the Whole Truth, and Nothing but the Truth, So Help Me God, as a witness pledges in court under Oath?

The muzzle velocity of Booth's small gun was about the same as a modern CO2 pellet gun, the bullet did not have the force to exit the skull on the far side, so the bullet remained in the brain.

Is that the definition of a "splitting headache"?

An American Heritage magazine article years ago did an excellent study detailing the many soldiers who lived for decades who got shot but lived with minnie balls and much larger bullets in the brain.

The little bullet in Lincoln's brain did not kill him, the doctors who time after time stuck their fingers, pencils, and other tools into the wound and into Lincoln's brain killed him.

With their trying unsuccessfully to extract the small bullet, the doctors killed Lincoln by consequently causing the fluids to drain away rather than the body to seal the wound and begin the process of healing, and by filthy fingers introducing septic shock from infections.

John Wilkes Booth only shot Lincoln with a small size bullet. Lincoln likely may have survived based on the experience of soldiers who survived bullets in the brain in "Mr. Lincoln's War", the War Between the States.

And remember the story of someone who later asked the deceased president's wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, about her recollections of the performance that night at the Ford's Theater:

"So Madam, how did you enjoy the show?" or words to that effect.

Congress later declined to provide Mrs. Lincoln a widow's pension, some saying she was involved in one way or another with the assassination. Earlier, during the war, opponents claimed she was a southern sympathizer, and in a surprise appearance before the Committee on the Conduct of the War of the Congress, President Lincoln personally testified on behalf of her loyalty.

Her eldest son Robert had her legally committed to an insane asylum in Batavia, Illinois in 1875 to gain control of the family estate. She considered Robert's action a betrayal, and never forgave her son by the time she died in Springfield, Illinois in 1882.

(Write me with comments to include the exact quote to Mrs. Lincoln and your source, or other information about Mrs. Lincoln after Lincoln died.)

And all across America, at the Presidio of San Francisco, which was first established in 1776 under the Flag of Spain, Mexico in 1822, and the came under the Flag of the United States in 1848, when Abraham Lincoln served his one term as a United States Congressman from Illinois elected in 1846, and on July 4th, 1848 spoke on the rights of the states to secede and form a Confederacy, but he was referring to the right of the northern states to secede and form a Northern Confederacy in protest to the War with Mexico and the admission of Texas as a state.

Wistfully Lincoln wished John Quincy Adams could have served as his Confederacy's first President, but Adams had died earlier that year on the day after George Washington's Birthday, on 23 February. John Quincy Adams had a son who he named George Washington Adams, as John Hancock named a son George Washington Hancock, and General LaFayette, a hero along with General Lincoln at Yorktown, named his son George Washington LaFayette, and his daughter "Virginia".

And so as America's favorite radio commentator Paul Harvey says,

"And now, for the rest of the story."

In view of the Golden Gate Bridge on the Presidio of San Francisco two streets intersect, Washington and Lincoln, named not for the Presidents, but for General Washington and General Lincoln.

GW at Governor Jefferson Thanksgiving Festival in Charlottesville, Virginia


Come and bring the family to Charlottesville the weekend BEFORE Thanksgiving Day to meet Governor Jefferson and his bride Martha, General Washington, Patrick Henry, James Madison, Dr. Gilmer, Daniel Boone, George Rogers Clark, and many other Revolutionary American heroes and heroines, like this little boy soldier whose Papa is a modern day Dr. Gilmer for the Special Forces in Afghanistan.

The Army doctor Dad (who is an Auburn "War Eagle" too) while in Afghanistan received correspondence (Ben Franklin's "electrified mail", or e-mail for short) from his children who for months told him that General Washington had knelt to "pray for their Papa, and Mama, friends and family, and for America" in the process of recruiting them to serve as Prayer Warriors.

The next year, when back from theater, with his wife who had come the year before alone with the couple's children while the father was away fighting for Liberty for America and the entire World, he brought his family and blessed the heart of GW with his family's story.




After Colonel George Rogers Clark in his buckskin uniform recruited and drilled the new Prayer Warrior soldiers, General Washington imparts some wise words about how each of these new recruits are essential to the future of America, and as Prayer Warriors, they are just as powerful as Colonel Clark or General Washington, because Our Father in Heaven listens to all our prayers equally.
