George Washington’s Decision

Is that date correct? “George Washington took over the Continental Army on July 5, 1785”? Could it have been 1775 instead?

Love this podcast

I listen to this before I go to bed. The stories are only about 6-8 minutes long, but I guarantee you won’t forget them. A great way to end your day. Bravo👏
