An
Unknown
Historical Fact
D i n you know that
(icorge Washington,
The adopted Father of our
Country, just he lore he got
on the Ferry k to cross the
Delaware lor the Photo
graphing of that now'fa
mous Picture, I)id noli know,
that he smoked two sacks
of ‘Bull’ Durham while he
was waiting for the Ferrv?
(things were just as late in
his W ar, as they were in our
last one). Now I have never ~
heard of this‘Bull’ Durham
episode before, neither have
I ever heard it denied. So it
it’s never cither been aftirm-
TT or denied, there is no rea
son to disbelieve that it’s
not true. ‘Bulk Durham 1
originated in Virginia, and .
W ashington lived in \ ir-
ginia, and he was a great
man to patronize home in
dustries. And as W ashing
ton was the he; t num of his
day, and Durham the best
tobacco of its da\ , there is
no plausible reason to doubt
that these two most excel
lent Institutions dfdn’t read
ily recognize the good in
each other and get together.
