A contempary anecdote not only confirms that Martha commanded respect in her own right during her lifetime, but also suggests an awkward truth later historians have preferred to ignore-that without Martha and her fortune, George might never have risen to social, military, and political prominence.Toward the end of his life, George Washington, war hero, retired president, and object of universal fame and veneration, was negotiating to purchase a plot of land in the new capital city, to be named in his honor. The seller, an aged veteran of the Revolution, was reluctant to part with the plot, even to so distinguished a purchaser. Washington persisted until the veteran's patience snapped: 'You think people take every grist that comes from you as the pure grain. What would you have been if you hadn't married the Widow Custis '-from the Introduction to
Martha Washington: First Lady of Liberty From the glittering social life of Virginia's wealthiest plantations to the rigors of winter camps during the American Revolution, Martha Washington was a central figure in some of the most important events in American history. Her story is a saga of social conflict, forbidden love affairs, ambiguous wills, mysterious death, heartbreaking loss, and personal and political triumph. Every detail is brought to vivid life in this engaging and astonishing biography of one of the best known, least understood figures in early American life.

Beautiful Color & Texture – Instantly Upgraded My Bedroom
Color: 07 - Mineral Blue, Size: King, Color: 07 - Mineral Blue, Size: King
I absolutely love this comforter set. The color is rich and calming, and the textured detailing adds such a classy, elegant touch. It looks way more expensive than it actually is and completely transformed my bedroom.
The fabric feels soft and smooth, and it lays nicely on the bed without looking stiff. It gives that clean, polished hotel vibe but still feels cozy and comfortable.
My only small complaint is the size of the comforter. I wish it were a little bigger, especially for fuller coverage on the sides of the bed. If you like that oversized, draped look, you may want to size up if possible. Other than that, it’s perfect.
Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend it if you’re looking for something stylish and affordable.

King size comforter
Color: 11 - Black, Size: California King
I’ve had this black king-size comforter for some time now, and it remains one of my favorite purchases. The comforter is thick, incredibly warm, and ideal for winter. I love the scrunched, textured design, which gives it a modern, stylish look, and the deep black color adds a sleek, elegant touch. It also came with both a set of pillowcases and a fitted sheet, along with a standard flat sheet, offering great versatility. Even now, it adds both style and comfort to my bedroom, and I couldn’t be happier with its quality.
