Tell about George Washington ?

In July 1752, George Washington's brother, Lawrence, died of tuberculosis making him the heir apparent of the Washington lands.

HE LOST MORE BATTLES THAN HE WON.

Lawrence’s only child, Sarah, died two months later and Washington became the head of one of Virginia's most prominent estates, Mount Vernon. He was 20 years old.

HE WAS LUCKY, BUT HIS COAT WASN'T.

Throughout his life, he would hold farming as one of the most honorable professions and he was most proud of Mount Vernon.

HE DIDN'T HAVE WOODEN TEETH.

He would gradually increase his landholdings there to about 8,000 acres.
