Great pic's Ged,by the way,but that carpet want's slingin'!
Firstly, may I say these pictures are absolutely superb. Thanks Ged. Really enjoyed them.

He basically bank rolled George Washington against the British. After the war he bought loads of land at a discounted price.. Then couldn't keep up with the repayments and ended up in a debtors prison!!...If memory serves me...may be wrong though...I normally am!
