Surprised they don’t tag it as racist and cut it down.
i was told today , there are caretakers for this beauty… It was said George Washington would take a leak behind this English Elm, while taking back Manhattan from the British… C22…
Crap Cellie, Washington never took NYC from the British. There was never a battle in NYC AFTER the British drove him out. Washington walked into NY AFTER the Brits evacuated...
That being said, not sure if George ever took a leak at the Elm or not...
On November 25, 1783, nearly three months after the Treaty of Paris was signed ending the American Revolution, the last British soldiers withdraw from New York City, the last British military position in the United States.

I said it my way, You said it your way, GW sent em packing… cellie… ?
OY, so that's how folks spin facts...
The only army chased out of NYC during the Revolution was Washington and the Continental Army, albeit it was a masterful, and pivotal retreat from Brooklyn Heights.

And George didn't sashay down to the Battery until well after General Henry Knox, from Maine, had taken troops down there to see that all the Brits were gone, and all Union Jacks were taken down...

Personally I don't give a rat's ass about a 4th, 5th...10th or yearly vaccine. My sleeve is always rolled up.

Couldn't be more wrong about that, my voting record is far more "R" than "D", even counting my college years. I'm just concerned when folks inadvertently or purposely twist documented historical facts to meet their needs. In your case, I'm sure it was inadvertent so I just wanted to "edumacate" you...

Gullible, not anyone came up to me and said anything bout the history of the Elm Tree… I enjoyed injecting a bit of imagination following Chevys comment… I’m well aware of General G. Achievements… Hook, Line & Sinker… cellfish…

Here's one for our Professor Emeritus of Revolutionary War History, what did I pass today as I went to dumpster dive for the Admiral's Used Lobstah Warp Doormat Project to donate doormats to the Pemaquid Point Lighthouse's fundraisers.
