Excerpt from Hail Columbia, the Flag and Yankee Doodle Dandy The reader is first made acquainted with life and character at Mount Vernon in the last few years of Washington's life; when the great Chief is seen among his domestics, living in all his greatness as a farmer, without the least obscuration of his glory.
