Washington was a combat veteran of the French and Indian War. As a 23-year-old officer at Braddock's Defeat, he'd had two horses shot from under him and heard four musket balls whiz through his coat. Washington was among the richest men in America with 54,000 acres, 100 slaves and a $100,000 dowry from his marriage to Martha Custis. His instructions to a London tailor show that he stood 6 feet 3 inches tall, a head taller than most men of his time. Greene, one of Washington's newly minted brigadier generals, wrote on July 4, 1775: His Excellency General Washington Mehr sehen
