I suppose it’s possible Washington wanted to retire under a pseudonym. William worthington and William Washington were born the same year, history is only what we write in the books right?

May be that that’s Washington’s private citizen name I mean they are one of the largest steel manufacturers in the world similar to the carnegies of old

[Ratzie33]

I mean the guy in the photo, put a wig on him and call him Washington. And what do you need for a good ploughing? Strong steel.

[Ratzie33]
