sometimes it will be washington. sometimes it will be fdr, but the interesting thing about this is we do not know what george really looked like. we have images of lincoln. photographed images. and you can follow those photographs over time and see how he changed, how he aged. of course we have images of fdr. we even have images of him in his wheelchair. generally the press did not take images of him in his wheelchair. but with george washington, he was there before photography, so we don't have photographs of him. what we have instead is artist representations. and those artist representations are not always very accurate. i mean, you look at some representational abstract art and does it really look like a cube? i don't know, maybe not. well, george washington, we've spent the better part of 14 weeks already addressing him, talking about him, we know that he is a famous man. we know he was commander of the continental army. we know that he has served in the continental congress for a short period of time before he

washington is just lost. washington has just allowed the capital to fall. maybe washington isn't right to lead the army, some say. this is going to be during this period of victory in the north and defeat in and around philadelphia it's going to lead to an attempt to unseat washington. before we come to this, the winter encampment at valley forge is crucial and one of the reasons it's crucial is armies in the 18th century don't fight in the wintertime. you would have campaigning seasons, you fight in the spring or the fall or the summer, but not in the winter. so it's during the winter that the army is able to actually train itself. they have had a hard fight since this war began and who helps train the army -- washington also has them performing plays in their off time. why not? you have to do something extracurricular -- is this man, the barron free drink von steuben and he is going to be responsible for bringing in a european sort of drill master's concept. the problem is he doesn't speak any english and most americans don't speak any german. how he woul

washington, the one thing you could say about washington. he's not a military genius, but he learns from his mistakes and he surrounds himself with capable people and he listens to their suggestions, and what he learns from that new york campaign when you divide your army, you make yourself susceptible to the enemy. well, as his army crossed over the delaware he would begin striking at the divided british army. remember, as i showed you that image that george was probably hunched down in the barge hanging on for dear life. can you imagine one of those ice floats hit the boats and knocked him out. that probably wouldn't be a refreshing experience, but nonetheless, his army did cross over and they attacked british at trenton. they scored an easy victory, six americans. a week later he engaged british forces at trenton -- pardon me, at princeton. i'm sorry. he engaged the british forces at printt princeton, and geez, i'm having a hard time saying that, and he wins there. so by the end of 1777 he's won two of his three victories. do you remember
