George Washington's Wine Bottle?


Well maybe that is a stretch. This bottle is almost 300 years old and was found at the Pope's Creek Plantation, Wakefield, where George Washington was born and live until age three. S0 maybe he didn't drink out of the bottle but its fits that time period. It was found during excavations in the trash area of the plantation.

I'm Horrified that George Washington was drinking Rum at Age 3, no wonder he won that little skirmish he had with the British. Davy Crockett was supposed to have Killed him a Bear at the same age, wonder if they were weaned to the same bottle?? Great Find.

A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed....Ansel Adams Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas.
