George Washington in the Revolution and His horse, Nelson, and his dog, dalmatian Madame Moose

In All Stories About Washington Seldom is His Horse, Nelson,  War Horse, and his dog, Madame Moose Mentioned

First of all, Nelson, was probably the most famous horse ever.  Washington's war horse that was not afraid of gun shots, cannon fire, and war.  He and Washington worked as one spirit.
His dalmatian was with him also, to guard against wolves.  Nelson, Mr. Billy Lee's horse, Chinkling,
  and Alexander's Horse eating.  If you look closely you can see  
a wolf howling at the moon.

These animals are featured in "Why is a Spy called a Mole" by my creator
and, of course, she created my ancestor, Spy Master Christopher McMole.

Did you know that after the Revolution colonists who visited Mount Vernon to see the President to be, Commander-in-Chief Washington, also wanted to see Mr. Billy Lee ride Chinkling through a virgin forest.  Warrant Officer Mr. Billy Lee was Washington's BFF and saved Washington's life more than once.  Historians of the day never picked up on this even though he was painted in Washington's portraits.  Wonder why that was?.....hmmmm 
Even today.

Time for me to quit typing away.  You should see my palaces down the Mole Hole.
I  live in the fanciest one, onion domes and all
Mayor Molly McMole
