George Washingtonâs Relationship With Dogs April 14, 2014 By Presidential Pet Museum Although George Washington is best known for his hunting dogs, his journals and letters show that he had many types of dogs throughout his life, and that he had a real fondness for them. He probably had about 50 or more dogs during his lifetime.
By the 1830s, the cherry tree myth was firmly entrenched in American culture, as the case of Joice Heth clearly shows. Heth was an elderly enslaved woman purchased by P.T. Barnum in 1835. He made her into a sideshow attraction, billing her as the slave who had raised George Washington. (If true, this would have made her 161 years old.) Heth had many physical characteristics of extreme old age, most likely due to her lifetime in slavery. The stories she told about Washington--including the cherry tree myth--were right out of Weems.
