indeed washington had. who is this, uttered george who was a diligent in his own time and ever since that he actually managed to invade the feverish dream world of the deranged royal george? i had this question when i wrote my hamilton biography and one day i was reading a series of letters that hamilton wrote after he had a quarrel late in the war with washington that led to hamilton quitting washington's staff. in these letters, hamilton described through washington's a washington was moody, irritable and temperamental. even something of a powder keg boss as he informed his father in law with more than a touch of youthful bravado. the great man and i have come to and open rupture. he shall for once recant his bill humor and i remember sitting there stunned. ill humor that hamilton mean to imply that the saintly father of our country was this sulky, volatile boss? needless to say is this was far from the whole truth about george washington and i hope in this book fat idea though lavish and sufficient prais

earlier i spoke with our colleagues in washington. the latest protests put the united states in an awkward diplomatic position. >> this is tension between america's short-term and long- term interests as many people in washington see it. in the short term, interest of egypt being able work of stability and peace in the middle east, helping with efforts to stop the spread of islamic terror. and pushing for peace between israelis and palestinians. that is the short-term way washington would see it. in long-term, the barack and obama administration is pushing human rights, democracy in the world as a whole, but particularly in the middle east. that kind of philosophy is part of the receiving the nobel peace prize a couple of years ago. there is tension between the two things and mixed signals coming out of washington over the past couple of days. >> which you make of the arrival of mohammad? his arrival could change the nature of these protests. he could offer leadership if the u.s. would be inclined to support him? >> question has been

washington fathered no children. henry fathered 18, who gave him 77 grandchildren of henry's friend said that he, not washington, is the real father of our country. [laughter] there are probably more than 100,000 henry descendents in the country today, enough to populate the entire city of gary, indiana. but henry was much, much more than a founding father. he was america's greatest courtroom lawyer. lord byron, the english poet who could only read henry speeches, called him that hamas cities at his age. john adams who did here in the state agreed. in the courtroom, he sliced opponent argument to shreds using ever rhetorical device he could find or invent. humor, passion, hope, fear. on clear days he embraced the sunshine and lifted yours hearts. on grey daisy pointed to the clouds and rain and provoked jurors to tears began on stormy days he saw homeland of destruction in every thunderclap and every bolt of lightning, and called it the wrath of god. one opposing lawyer said that whenever henry rose to speak, althoug

establishment here in washington. congressman west, you have already written a letter to house majority leader cantor when you found out how many days the house was going to be taking off in the new year and complaining about that. saying we have a lot of work to do. we need to be working harder. congressman cantor's spokesman said more days in washington mean a bigger government. are you convinced? >> i think that's a disconcerting statement for me, because if they believe that the more time we're spending up here working toward what is best for the american people is a bad thing. then, you know, what is our purpose to being here? our purpose is to be up here to resolve the issues and the purpose is to represent the people. we have to work harder starting off especially in the first three or four months than the schedule showed. that's something i had to bring up. i think it's important that, you know, even though i'm new up here and a freshman, if i see something that i feel is not correct, my responsibility is to b

washington said know i have not so the chief said we will show you what it is like and brought washington into the bay and and when around and around and he was allowed to go all-around and afterwards he said i wish i had been with you on this party because you only captured one and i would have liked to have seen all little more blood. [laughter] so i think i enjoy looking at the maps because with the comments by washington, this is wilderness and he reacted. thank you for your time. >> what services did you use from this library since we are here? >> from here is a collection of washington's rating is published for the bicentennial in 1932 her keira in the digital age, one kn search the web some papers were digitize or a facsimile, transcription facsimile, transcription, it is a handy tool but there is something that you can crack open and page through and of course, is disappearing but to do what year was a tremendous asset to search through on your own terms, a very different than working digital. washington's ratings edited by fitch -- fitzpatrick are a wonderful jewel but not every

and washington, of course, that was june 17th, and washington arriving in a column that's drawn very beautifully over here. in fact, you can see that there are columns coming down from from new hampshire, up from connecticut all converging in this great congregation of citizen soldiers to besiege the british. and here just one detail you can see, the march of general washington with his virginia, virginian horse, his riflemen and the new york grenadiers. so there's an encampment, just a really enchanting map. now, once he'd arrived, washington had to size up the situation, and this map of boston harbor gives some tremendous detail of the situation. and i think perhaps you, like myself and most americans, think of the siege of boston as a fairly static affair. that washington was encamped in cambridge with americans pinched off the neck of the boston peninsula at rocksbury and the charlestown peninsula at the neck here and that they sat and ghaired at each other for 13 months which is pretty much what happened. but if you have washington's maps in hand, which i did when i went to read

washington indeed had. who is this commodore judge who was such a legend in his own time and ever since. that he actually managed to engage the feverish world of the royal george. and hamilton after a quarrel lake in the war that led to hamilton quitting washington's staff. in these letters hamilton described working for washington saying he was moody, irritable and temperamental and a powder keg. he said the great man and i came to an open rupture and he shall relent his ill humor. ill humor? that hamilton meant to imply this saintly father of our country was the sulky, volvo boss? this was in -- and lavish phrase to washington's courage and fortitude, integrity and a thousand other wonderful traits. this is not a debunking the book. is an effort to recreate for the magnetism that so excited washington. having said that, hamilton became perspective for people, keep a window into george washington's in motion. kept in check with formidable self control. i came to learn george washington was not this kind of

what better place than the march on washington? it was a march on washington for jobs and freedom. this was a march to get america to reclaim its conscience. that is what this march was about. there is something in the book which i talk about, a little background about who is going to be speaking before the actual speakers occur. there is a lot of background, especially about who is going to speak first. i can say it. there were some people who did not like -- who did not want martin luther king to be the last speaker, for a combination of reasons that can best be described as ego. [laughter] north dakota. it had very little to do with politics. -- envy. it had very little to do with politics. the only thing that worked with randolph and others was talking to some of the other preachers and representative organizations. they asked a question, "you don't really want to follow dr. king, do you?" tavis: who would want to do that? >> i said, do you really want to follow him? i don't think so. >> as we celebrate the 25th anniversary of the king holiday this year, with all due respect to
