A Special Evening With…Jim Bish, Talk and Book Signing, author of I Can’t Tell A Lie: Parson Weems and the Truth about George Washington’s Cherry Tree, Prayer at Valley Forge, and Other Anecdotes.
George Washington had many uncles, aunts, and cousins on his mother’s side who are often overlooked as influencers in his life. Washington’s family associations, primarily his Ball family relations, are studied in depth for the first time in this new book, revealing much about Washington’s non-public life. The connections among his family circles, neighbors, and other associates reveal the sources for the many anecdotes of George’s life immortalized by his biographer Parson Weems.
