I am glad you took the time to examine the sources. I think this is one of those stories that people kind of want to be true because it makes such an interesting story. It's unfortunate that, as you say, many people will not take the time to examine its historical accuracy. I am imagining some well-meaning elementary school teachers using it in classrooms and teaching a generation of children that Washington celebrated Hanukkah with the Harts. Hopefully, your series will make a difference. This reminds me of the cherry tree story we all swallowed for years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
