A and C
Washington, promoted to colonel, leads 300 men against the French at Fort Duquesne (now Pittsburgh, PA).
On his way, he builds what he calls Fort Necessity, near what is now Confluence, PA. The fort falls to the French in a skirmish that will lead to the French and Indian War. A London gazette, publicizing his heroism, prints a line from a Washington letter: “I have heard the bullets whistle; and believe me, there is something charming in the sound.”
George Washington’s teeth, long thought to have been carved out of wood. It’s amazing how this legend has survived. Here’s the true story:
President Washington lost his teeth at a relatively early age. He suffered from poor dental health throughout his younger years. He had two sets of false teeth (dentures) made by the most prominent American dentist of his day, Dr. John Greenwood. They were carved from the finest hippopotamus ivory and gold
Born into a wealthy family, he was educated privately. In 1752 he inherited his brother's estate at Mount Vernon, including 18 slaves; their ranks grew to 49 by 1760, though he disapproved of slavery.
