somehow, when washington went to see him for the first time in williamsburg in 1753, washington was already an imposing person at that time. at age 21. dinwiddie was smitten with george washington and through thick and thin, dinwiddie stuck with him even when washington was not entirely successful. indeed, in the early 1750's for a period of time, dinwiddie came up to winchester to be closer to the action up in the allegheny mountains. washington's early career in the 1750's, this guy is absolutely indispensable. as far as i can tell in reading their correspondence, he never failed in his support of washington. once again, even when washington did not see the best of times. an important portrait of washington. you have probably all seen this somewhere. 1772. the earliest portrait of washington. and famously, washington wanted to be portrayed in this particular uniform which we must spend just a few seconds on. it is not a military uniform of the british army. it is a uniform of the virginia regiment. george washington was never, ever an officer in the regular british army. he was in the vir
