Enjoy this talk by historian and New York Times best-selling author Alexis Coe on her book "You Never Forget Your First: A Biography of George Washington", which takes a closer look at our first president and finds he is not quite the man we remember. Young George Washington was raised by a struggling single mother, demanded military promotions, caused an international incident, and never backed down. But after he married Martha, everything changed. Washington became the kind of man who named his dog Sweetlips and hated to leave home.
