our supper cost $1500 and was furnished by party miss washington. in washington. the most prominent ladies of washington were present from ms. hamlin, daughter of the vice president, kate chase -- the strikingly beautiful daughter of lincoln's treasury secretary. it's perhaps interesting to think about powerful government daughters right now. i'm just dropping that in there. and the mrs. hale downs, the daughters of the senator from new hampshire. but these women were not the reason for washington's letter to his sister. haas but not least was miss emily warren, the sister of the general who came specially from west point to attend the ball. it was the first time i ever saw her, and i am very much of the opinion that she has capture your brother's heart at last. it was a real attack in force. it came without any warning or any previous realization on my part of such an occurrence taking place and it was, therefore, all the more successful. and i ashower you that it gives -- assure you that it gives me the greatest pleasure to say that i have succumbed. what they s

he knew washington very well. in the early revolutionary period, he became involved in independence movement. he became a british commander. he was a general commanding lead elements of the battle of princeton. british couldn't attack mercer was knocked from his horse. apparently these british troops thought they captured general washington and demand that he surrender. mercer defended himself with a sword. this is actually the original silver sword that mercer had in his hand. you see in the background depiction from the painting of the death of mercer. insist from -- this is from british regimen that attacked americans at princeton. these blades may have crossed one another as mercer play on ground fighting off british soldier. he competedly stabbed. he lingered for nine days. became a martyr for the american cause. when he eventually died, his body was brought here to philadelphia. it was placed on public exhibition so that americans can see these horrible wounds that he suffered and he was buried at price chur

smith goes to washington, it's ron johnson. this is his last term. if you want to have an interesting evening, do not go to dinner with ron johnson and bill cassidy. they are wonderful people, but they -- they know numbers, and they love to talk about details and how systems work. ron johnson has brought energy and a can-do attitude to this debate. he's the closest thing i have seen in a long time to mr. smith goes to washington. he's not -- he's not going to run again. scott walker. if it were not for scott walker, we would not be here today. scott walker said i have been talking about federalism all my political fief -- life. this is the first time i have seen somebody in washington try to empower me here since welfare reform. scott walker has been a moving force on the governor's side. the governor of utah, mike, you should be proud of him, really great guy. mike, thank you for working with us to make this as flexible as possible. senator lee has helped to get this at the state level. thank you. asa hutchison in arkansas stepped up. our good frien

not because of washington's religiosity but washington was very private in his devotions. he would never have you know rather ostentatiously, and public and in full view of his soul has been praying in a fashion. in terms of his religious views this was a hot controversy. about this washington before the war was an anglican. which meant that after the war he was an episcopalian. washington, there were a number of things about washington's christian beliefs and practices that were atypical. he always talked about providence or the supreme author of our being. he only referred to jesus by name two or three times in his entire career. he would, at church he would pray standing instead of kneeling. again, refuting the mason story. he never took communion which presses, martha did regularly. very significantly, he did not call for a minister on his deathbed. which again, martha did. i have the feeling that washington was deeply religious. there is not a battle in the revolutionary war that washington does not you know, claim that divine providence had been looking out for the c

indeed, washington had. who is this commoner that was such a legend in his own time and ever sense that he managed to invade the feverishctually dreamworld of the drainage royal george. i was interested in this when i was writing my biography. i was writing a series of letters that hamilton wrote that led to hamilton quitting. in these letters, hamilton described working for washingto. and said washington was moody, irritable and temperamental.on s even something -- informed hiso father and the of more than a touch of youthful bravado. he said, the great anna and i came to an open rupture. he shall repent his ill humor. i remember sitting there stunned. ill humor?er did hamilton mean to imply that the saintly father of our country was a sulky, volatile boss? this was far from the truthle about george washington.s i hope in this book is about lavishing praise to washington's courage and fortitude patriotism and integrity. in fact, my book was an effort to re-create the charisma and magnetism and so excited wa

if premier suffragists in the eastern washington area. one of her biggest, most heartfelt messages was a message that she wanted to give women the right to vote and she was the most dominant advocate of women getting the right to vote in eastern washington, but in 1809, 1910, very well known. we are going to see today a couple of scrapbooks that happen herself put throughout her life, while mostly after she moved to spokane, but there will be scrapbooks here. we've got photographs from her early life. she was a minor. she had some considerable wealth from the hurt of these mighty north idaho, so we are going to talk about that. she and her husband after 1900, around 1906 move to spokane and we will talk about her career. she gives us a window into what activist women were doing at that time. she also because she was suddenly a mine owner, may arkwright hutton came into wealth. she was born into difficult circumstances. she was brought up by her grandfather, not her. in the she goes through life, she's a little bit of everything. she comes
