this book is about washington as an entrepreneur, i think it's important to remember that george washington was a combat veteran. and that even ties boo what i will -- into what i will talk about in a moment about washington's views of peace and how essential peace is. as a combat veteran, washington understands a number of things about the nature of war and what war does and what its impact is not only on those who are at the front lines, but on those who are at home who are also affected and in their own ways participants in war. what war does to a country and to a people. he also learns, i think, here too the extreme importance of fundamentals, of basics. this is one element of washington's character that i saw early on and that i've, it's taken a while to understand. if you look at this gentleman's fixation on detail, he's often dismissed as a micromanager, but there's a real purpose to that focus on detail which is that detail matters. if you're in the service and particularly if you're in a position of command, you ignore at your peril the basic fact that the men who serve

examples, washington, d.c. we just had presidents a day earlier this month so there are a lot of obvious things. our money has presidents all over it there's a lot of let's obvious examples, a lot of connections that maybe don't come up in our wallets or are mailing addresses, our highway system is officially named the dwight d. eisenhower system of interstate and defense highways. there's that statue in alexandria, virginia, as the ceremonial start. the man who wrote the song this land is your land is woodrow wilson guthrie. my favorite blues singer birth name is chester arthur burnett. there's a baseball pitcher named grover cleveland alexander. interestingly the one person who always comes to mind as a famous person posting for president, george washington carver, was not named for george washington. the oddities of serious connections and then once they're just plain inexplicable. i bring you some news from the world of commerce. there's a whole set of has a disinterested you can open a zachary taylor said and pulled out candy which is cool. there's the teddy bear of course mean for

and i, there's, you know, who knows where there may not be martha washington letters that were not published in the edition of her papers by joseph fields. it's going to be very exciting over the next four or five years. i think it will go online and be published as well in about four years. so i'm, i have to say it's one of the few times that i'm looking forward to revising my book. [laughter] because then i can read all martha's, all the new letters that i hope will come out. because, you know, america's a treasure-trove of 18th century papers in the different historical societies, and people travel so much in america like martha's great granddaughters in her papers are in louisiana. and so it's, hopefully, everyone's going to come forward with new martha letters which would be exciting. and there might be a diary. that will be too exciting for words. [laughter] [applause] >> so, flora, thank you very much. you will all be delighted to know that flora fraser will be outside to sign books. i invite you all out for a cocktail reception, and i want to thank you all for being here, s

relationship only grew as they got older. i can't pinpoint when it is, but i would say that washington's respect for martha grew enormously during the war, and he realized during the war, during those months that he was without her in the campaigning season of those eight years just how much he missed her. he thought at the beginning of the war that she would be lonely, and he wrote her that wonderful letter. but it's a letter which is here in the library. he wrote from never about to go and take command at cambridge. but he was worried that she would be lonely and that, and he was worried that he would be worrying about her being lonely. well, as it turned out, he was lonely. and they never thought at the beginning of the war that she would be going to him, but he was who sent for her. and i think the war changed their relationship as wars do change relationships. but i think that was when he really realized, and that was when he said during the war, he said to benjamin franklin's daughter, mrs. batch, i'm not sure which is right, he said dancing at a ball during the war he said i've be

audience. let's get to our guest of honor. the author of washington monument. you have an interesting subtitle too. let me tell you, why did you want to write a book about washington monument. you're also interested in engineering. what looked to set out to write question and. >> always end up being different than what you set up to write. they always take on a life of their own. i've always been interested in novelists monuments because they're so difficult to build and move and expensive. i always wonder why because they are good for anything. i think it's basically a case of the feral ordering them and saying i'm so rich and powerful i can even waste this much money. ever since then, people have been stealing them. the romans stole them and what have you. i was very interested in why the washington monument is obelisk shape. i guess that must be monolithic, one stone and 555-foot tall, that would be super engineering, even today. most of washington is the ceremonial holdings, most of them are neoclassical some of them are of the style of the day like the smithsonian castle which is

may be elements that would cause us to moderate those opinions, but washington had great admiration for hamilton brilliance as an economist. frankly i don't think washington understood half of what hamilton said about the various reports about industry and finance, but he trusted hamilton and that's another sign of great leadership. he knew how to delegate responsibility to hamilton. hamilton had been a difficult person in washington's life. outside the purview of the book, at at the end of the war when the officer of the continental army had not been paid and were very restless, there is suggestion that there would be a coup of the officers. it was a really sad moment. washington saved the day with one of his famous speeches. you probably heard it in school. i've gotten old serving my country and i've grown blind and the soldier said no whatever, we'll do it. hamilton hamilton had tried to use this potential army coup to gain more power for the federation government. washington walked wrote some very strong letters to hamilton in the mid- 1780s. one line i do remember he said, it's

been jefferson's notes on conversations. washington tended to hold informal cabinet meetings but to talk to members individually. jefferson was the exception. as soon as the conversation was done. particularly when washington started complaining about how he was feeling worn out and tired, freight his memory was going. jefferson would say tell me more. their relationship has been studied quite a bit. there has been a lot written about it. but it was clearly a nuanced relationship. the men respect each other. we tended to focus on the points of division. i saw flaws in china. when he feels jefferson was made a promise when he feels he broke the promise washington takes a personal. his own diary which is interesting. >> a big round. >> the conversation that came out. good research to be done. i great storehouse. hindered -- younger graduate students. now, like washington and get paid for doing this tonight. yeah. so, that means you can help out. do that in an orderly fashion. >> don't even have to read it. >> when i tune in on the weekend's authors sharing and knew releases. >> the be
