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.

Large, easy to set up
Size: 10 Person
Better than anticipated! Loved the size, the ease with which it was put up, and the height! Not a fan of how the "room divider" divides, but it works. Despite the photos, for some reason I was expecting a little more separation, but you have to go through the first 'room' to access the second. Other tents that I looked at that had 2 rooms had 2 side-by-side entrances. Still, very pleased with the tent overall. Did not get to test the water resistance, luckily, but it does seem like a good, sturdy tent that is easy to put up, even with three 7 year old boys running around the camp site.

Easy set up
Size: 10 Person
The tent was easy to set up. The instructions were easy to understand. It was nice to lay out the tent and clip the poles into place. Easy to set up for one person. All the zippers work and looks to be well made. Hopimg it will.last quote a while. I'm 6'3" and had plenty of space to stand. Lots of room on the inside. Looking forward to using this tent a lot.

No Good
Size: 6 Person
Brand new screen netting on door and windows had small holes thus allowing mosquitoes in. Unfortunately the return window passed but due to weather we just got to try it out last week. Also floor had pin holes first use which I think after several uses will develope bigger holes. Very thin material. Also came with no setup instructions but that was easy to figure out. Like the fast setup that’s it. I may have gotten someone else’s return ???

Highly recommended

This tent y’all!
We are avid campers, to the point that we have multiple tents for different adventures. We ordered this one for a quick weekend getaway and I was thoroughly impressed! We popped it up in seconds when it arrived. Sprayed it down with waterproofing spray, let it dry, and packed it back up with EASE! We have only used it once thus far, so I can’t account for the durability yet, but either way, for the price, I feel like this was definitely worth the purchase!
