In 1759, Mason Locke “Parson” Weems was born. He is remembered for his fictitious stories that he presented as fact. He was responsible for the story about George Washington cutting down his father’s cherry tree. #ParsonWeems #GeorgeWashington
I discovered this guy while reading in the high school library my sophomore year. I couldn’t wait to show my history teacher. I was surprised to learn he already knew about him and I received my first explanation about “approved lesson plans”.
