BTW, I recently got to visit the very comprehensive Washington exhibit at the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa. Excellent info all around, on Mount Vernon, Washington's slaves, his upbringing, etc. The exhibit is called "Discover the Real George Washington: New Views from Mount Vernon" courtesy of the Mount Vernon Ladies Association. Over 100 Washington artifacts, and excellent dioramas of Fort Necessity, Mount Vernon and three forensically accurate Washington mannequins from three points in his life -- I highly recommend it!Byron DeLearnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28102666.post-59227689366109857222012-10-16T12:07:29.760-05:002012-10-16T12:07:29.760-05:00A bunch of New Englanders came by in August, inclu...A bunch of New Englanders came by in August, including all the Massachusetts men and Silas Deane from Connecticut. <br /><br />There was an official committee from the Congress in October: Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Lynch, and Benjamin Harrison. <br /><br />John Adams consulted with the general a couple of times in January. Some of the other Massachusetts men may have stopped off for <i>pro forma</i> visits on their way to or from Philadelphia.<br /><br />And Robert Hooper, who was born in Massachusetts but represented North Carolina, made a brief visit in February.J.
