Travels with George: In Search of Washington and His Legacy | Nathaniel Philbrick

I listened to two interesting podcasts about George Washington this morning that I wanted to share with the group.

The George Washington Story You Haven't Heard (Adam Grant with Ken Burns) https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/rethinking-the-george-washington-story-you...

Presidential: George Washington https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/business/podcasts/presidential/

I am really loving this series. This one was a fun change of scenery being set mostly in India (or traveling there from London) and the courtship of these characters was unconventional which added to the story. This heroine wasn‘t my favorite, but I still enjoyed the story. #historicalromance

Cambodia - Culture Smart!: The Essential Guide to Customs & Culture | Culture Smart!, Kate Reavill

I'm not very good at the food portion of our #FoodAndLit challenge since I'm not a big fan of cooking and I'm a bit of a picky eater. I anticipate Cambodia having lots of seafood and that is not my jam. To make up for it, I've got a country overview, a memoir, a children's book, and an audiobook adapted for young readers all lined up.

If you've been uncertain about joining us for fear of half-assing it, I'm proof you can join in anyway! 🤣

Texreader Same with the food! This‘ll be a difficult food wise for me. 2d

Butterfinger I am not a cook, but I like to look for coffee or snacks. Those Dutch waffle cookies from last year. Oh, my goodness. 2d

LiseWorks Oh I'm same with the food, I'm doing the Mediterranean diet, so sometimes the country doesn't fit, even my own, but it's fun to read an author from the country chosen 2d

Liz_M And (depending on the year I am having), I am more likely to cook than read a book from the country! From your memoir title above, there should be a fair number of pasta options. 😁 2d

ferskner Thanks for reminding me that I own Slow Noodles and can use it for this prompt! 2d

Travels with George: In Search of Washington and His Legacy | Nathaniel Philbrick

From 1776-1807, New Jersey‘s state constitution gave voting rights to any adult —male, female, white or black —who had lived in NJ for at least a year and was worth at least 50 pounds. In 1807, the Anti-Federalist state legislature restricted the right to vote to white males in order to prevent women (who tended to vote Federalist) from participating in the 1808 presidential election. 😡

dabbe There are not enough swear emojis for this. 😡🤬🤬🤬 ... 3d

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Those bastards! ? On a related note, I live in Union, NJ. A sign is up nearby by apartment that says, "On June 8, 1780 General George Washington established Headquarters at this site in Connecticut Farms (now Union Township) after the British and Hessian army‘s retreat of June 7." 3d
