(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.

J As a younger man the general
! wandered as far West as West Vir
ginia, Western Pennsylvania and
' the beginnings of Ohio.
j Get IMore From Horse
; Washington knew yqu get more
from a horse in the early morning
before he feels the weather. 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-

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.
