(Editor1 Note - Assuming Onrge Washinittna really slept In hair the places (hat claim he did, hat kind of accommodations was lie likely to find in them? How much did an average dinner cost him? What did It consist of? How was th room service? Here's factual story' that answers these and other questions about the first President's travel habits.) By CHARLES MERCER AP Newsfeatures Writer It has become a tiresome old Joke that "George Washington slept here." Actually most of his camp sites and resting places have disappeared. But he was a great traveler, one of the most durable of his time, and he saw the begin nings of a great civilization. On a map of Jhe East; Coast r'ace a thumb out .in a -thousand fathoms of the grey Atlantic a id : put a forefinger on Newport, R. I. Run your forefinger in an arc down to Newport News, Va , and you'll cover the country he knew best. I Washington was in Boston just three, times. He never got farther north than Kittery, Me., just across the New Hampshire border. He never was in Vermont, though he visited Albany and ranged some distance west into the Mohawk Valley. Rides I Ml MHes , He never was 'south of his beloved Virginia until 1791. Then, at the age of 59, he rode 1,887 miles through the Carolinas and Georgia, traveling 40 to 50 miles a day oven foul roads in foul weath er. Those who glide on super-highways today over the traces of George Washington's America can not realize what this means unless they've-ridden five miles on horseback.

After riding seven or eight miles with the three or four aides and score of dragoons who usually accom j panied him, they'd dismount at an i inn or someone's house. There they rested and fed the horses "Bait ed'' them as they called it. Then, if the General were lucky, he miht have his favorite breakfast: Indian hoecakes and honey and teai I Toward noon they stopped again and somebody broke out rations: Biscuits and a bit of cold ham pr tongue and maybe some of the General's favorite Madeira wine. Then they pressed on until dark ness or exhausted horses stopped them. I When the General and- his aides j were lucky, they spent the niqht i at good inn. And to this day i there probably isn't anything much 1 better than was a good Colonial ..Inn. .. " ' It doesn't take much imagina tion to see the General stiffly riis mounting before one of these inns on a cold winter evening. Fol lowed by his aides, he steps into a dimly lighted room heated by a huge chestnut log in a wide stone fireplace. The good inn-keeper stands at one end of a long table personally carving the roasts for the guests while his wife serves jther dishes at the opposite end. Lots of Food What tables those were; there were boiled mutton and boiled beef and baked ham and hot roast turkey; there were mashed pota toes and boiled onions and creamed turnips and coldslaw and two or three kinds of pickles and four or five kinds of jellies and hot rolls, biscuits and wheat bread. They were hearty folk in those clays, and when the guests had pol ished off this course, washing it down with small beer and mulled wine and buttered rum, the inn keeper's wife and her servants cleared the table and brought in the next course. They brought in mince, custard and apple pie, pound cake, suet pudding, dough- mite nnel tiuio uim ico, : Tn aaf Klo Ml af .iU - kl. ! w .u uuj it ai aunt a vault: cost a guest 15 cents. But the General does not rush to the table. He stands, hands ; clasped behind him, warming his j saddle-chilled backside at the fire. ! No Gorging j He is served dinner with his , aides at a small table. But he does not gorge. He eats heartily of one meat and a little vegetable. He would be pleased if fish were of fered. He eats a little suet pud ding and wishes a bowl of fruits and nuts were available. With his food he drinks four or five glasses of Madeira. i The inn-kneper has givei- the General a bedroom to himself and he personally goes up to- heat the uenerai s Dca with a warming pan and place a flannel-wrapped hot stone at the General's foot. The General goes up to bed early, for he will rise early and ride gain before breakfast. It is he thinks, a good inn. He nas known far worse nights. Nights when he's chewed a hit of unsnlt. ' ed beef and rolled himself in one lice-crawling blanket before a flickering fire. And he's known better ni"Ms: Min Vprrni p'-'-ts when there was laughter and mu sic and a smail nn..uc . He falls asleep quickly, for he will rise early and ride again.
