George Washington with Half King
My great, great, great, great, grandfather was a Master Spy in the American Revolution
so being in the present we need to firmly hold on to the gift that our Founding Fathers
earned and shed blood for.
George Washington had a special talent. He drew people towards him and these
people were also Founding Fathers. Let us not forget them; besides the English
and French, he had friends (fellow soldiers) that were Iroquois and Seneca, Native Indians who fought with him in the French and Indian War. His mentor was Tanacharison, Half King, who
spoke French and did reconnaissance for the young commander.
By the way, he had reddish brown hair and a long ponytail. He buried Commander
Braddock near the Monongahela River which was probably Virginia at that time.
He was at first a major in the Virginia Army and later the Commander.
Another Founding Father was Mr. Billy Lee, the black son of Colonel John Lee,
who sometimes wore a fancier uniform than Washington, was the best horseman
in the colonies and did the finances for Washington. Saved Washington's
life a couple of times. Washington loved Mr. Billy Lee and after the Revolution
the visitors, which were many, wanted to see Mr. Lee ride his horse, Chinkling,
through a nearby virgin forest.
All these men were Founding Fathers. Remember Washington, on his famous
horse Nelson, fought with his men in the American Revolution. He was
a leader and later founded and was the First President of George Washington
University. I believe that this man, George Washington, has been overlooked
by our schools, and overlooked by time.
If I were a descendent of Mr. Billy Lee, and the Eastern Native Indians, I would
be very proud of my ancestry and this includes the slaves. These heroes
gave us a wonderful gift, The United States of America.
