Fake History

As a history buff I usually don't like pieces of art and sculpture destroyed.  The mural at
George Washington High School in San Francisco should be destroyed.  It would scare me too.
This is an example of false history and full of hatred for our first president.

Ron Chernow  and Joseph Ellis, won the Pulitzer Prize for writing about  President Washington.
Both agree that Mr. Billy Lee was falsely written and depicted by historians of the day and
it still happens.

As it turns out I have Washington's back and too bad he can't tweet today or write a blog
to tell                                               Mr. Billy Lee

who he really was.  Here he poses with one of his mentors, Half King, Tanacharison,
a Seneca who was captured by the French as a baby.  He taught Washington a few moves
that would benefit the Continental Army to beat the British in the Revolution.  This
warrior he would never forget.  Washington even signed papers with his American Indian
name, Conotocaurius.

Here is a "biggie" historians say that Henry Knox was his best friend.  No, his BFF was
Mr. Billy Lee, who was a black Aide, Warrant Officer, son of Colonel John Lee.
He was not a slave, as the historians say.  He rode a famous horse, Chinkling, carried
a carbine, wore a fancier uniform than Washington, which Washington applauded.
Mr. Billy Lee saved Washington's life several times in the Revolution with his carbine.
Washington wouldn't go anywhere without him.  He appears in several Washington's
portraits.  Sometimes he wore a red turban.  Here, the historians deny him his importance.
Washington was trying to say something in these portraits--his love of Mr. Billy Lee.
Mr. Lee rode his horse better than any man and people came to see him ride his horse
at Mount Vernon, after the Revolution.

Washington, at 15,  surveyed the land from the Atlantic Ocean to the Ohio Territory
with his American Indian friends.  I spent 4 years studying Mr. Chernow and  Mr. Ellis
and wrote a children's book, Why Is a Spy Called a Mole?, that will hammer out some of
these facts.  It has 40 illustrations and can be bought on Amazon/Kindle.  It has 2,000,000
hits on the internet.  You will meet some interesting characters, Commander in Chief's famous
warhorse, Nelson, and his dalmation, Madam Moose, who was with him during the war
to guard Alexander Hamilton, Mr. Bill Lee, and Washington's horses against wolves.

You will meet a famous spy who was caught carrying papers stating that Benedict Arnold
would kill the three at Fort West Point.  Fortunately, for us, the spy, John Andre, was captured
by low-ranked soldiers at night on a country road.  You will learn what happened.

Mayor Molly McMole Blogs for Commander in Chief Washington; He Needs Help-- Just Like Trump

If Washington Could Tweet to The Schools and City and States' Governments He Would Have to
Blog Instead--too many words so Mayor Molly McMole will do the blog this morning for him

Would you believe that some so-called elites in northern California want to destroy a mural
about George Washington.  Well, of course you do.

Facts:
FRENCH INDIAN WAR (look up the battle of the Monongahela),,,not Mon

George Washington was Commander of the Virginia Regiment at the age of 23 and won the war
with  a Native American (who was kidnapped by the French when he was a baby
by the French, spoke fluent French, and the British called him Half King of the Seneca
Tribes).  His name was Tanacharison and he did reconnaissance for the young Commander.

AMERICAN REVOLUTION
Washington had two favorite aides in the Revolution, Alexander Hamilton, and a black
Warrant Officer, Mr. Billy Lee, who received an Honorable Discharge from Washington,
a pension, and a house on the Mount Vernon Estate.  AND was in many family portraits.
Lee had a horse named Chinkling and was considered the best rider in the Colonies.

People came to Mount Vernon just to see Mr. Lee ride Chinkling!  Since the black
officer (not slave) saved Washington's life several times during the Revolution with
his carbine, who do you think was his favorite aide?  Of course, it was Mr. Billy Lee.
Washington wouldn't go anywhere without him.

So get over it, folks, Washington did things with famous people that you probably
never could do and he respected people who would work with him.  In fact,
Washington wouldn't have been president if had not  been for the three patriots I just
mentioned.

PS:  Washington had the most famous horse ever--Nelson, Warhorse, 8 years with
Washington.  Not afraid of gun fire, cannon fire, and Washington made a paddock
right beside his mansion and this was true love!

Mr. Billy Lee
Son of Colonel John Lee
