Penned Many Letters
It is no secret that the most famous paper he ever wrote would be the Constitution of the United States. However, he actually wrote tens of thousands of letters throughout his life. The estate believes that he wrote anywhere from 18,000 to 20,000 letters. They have collected a total of 297 volumes! This would mean that he spent a number of hours a day just writing correspondence and government documents. Of course, we cannot possibly forget that he penned love letters to Martha!

A Dog Lover
Washington was a big fan of dogs and owned many of them during his lifetime. He even bred Foxhounds for hunting and had about 30 dogs on the estate on any given day. He loved the animals so much that he was dubbed the “Father of the American Foxhound.” He even documented his hounds in a journal, so we know that three of his pets were called Tipler, Tipsy, and Drunkard. If you ask us, those names do not sound like they were very good hunters!
