This podcast is called the way I heard it, in large part because we seem to be surrounded by ambiguity and certainty.
voice-verified
Yes.
voice-verified
in the expert class.
voice-verified
So here's just like one more instance where, okay, a lot of people are really pretty sure this happened.
voice-verified
Did it or didn't it?
voice-verified
Well I certainly don't know.
voice-verified
But here's what I know.
voice-verified
I grew in Baltimore, not far from the intersection of one seventy five and Route One down in Columbia.
voice-verified
There's a holiday in there today.
voice-verified
Turns out there's been an in- at that crossroads for centuries, and it used to be run by a guy named John Spurrier.
voice-verified
And John Spurrier got famous because he wrote a book called The Practical Farmer that both Jefferson and Washington loved and endorsed.
voice-verified
Spurrier's Inn or Spurrier's Tavern was on the way to a lot of important places that Washington frequented.
voice-verified
So he wound up staying there over twenty five times.
voice-verified
And so in my story
voice-verified
And this is where I go totally off the rails.
voice-verified
It makes total sense that it could have happened.
voice-verified
Well, there's no way these two men didn't share multiple private conversations.
voice-verified
Washington admits as much and of course John does as well.
voice-verified
But what did they talk about?
voice-verified
So the hook for my story was, okay, you can fill a book with what I don't know, but the only words I'm gonna put in Washington's mouth are quotes that there's no ambiguity about.
