The familiar portrait of the father of our country is of the model of virtue and resolve who could not tell a lie. But the author and WCBS-TV anchor Mary Calvi says her research uncovered details about the first love of George Washington's life, the heiress Mary Philipse, one of the wealthiest women in the colonies, and how their relationship may not have ended once each of them was married to others. Jim Axelrod reports on the story behind Calvi's historical novel, "Dear George, Dear Mary," about the first president's first love, and with famed Washington scholar historian Richard Brookhiser about the first president's reputation.

Good for her! Calvi had an idea and pursued it. I’m wondering if the lack of letters describing their sharing a house was because, well, they lived down the hall from each other. Also, if the mansion was used as a headquarters, it was likely frequented by many of his staff and subordinates, leaving little room for hanky-panky (as if the very proper and prestigious Washington would risk his reputation over that.)

George Washington is my favorite president. He knew Sally Fairfax from his very early social circle and also was a friend of her husband. Based upon a good biography of Washington, my understanding is that his passion for Sally, a dainty, ethereal woman, persisted up to and perhaps beyond his marriage to Martha.

So nice to see Jane Pauley. Used to watch her all the time when I was growing up. Watched her and her former TV host Tom Brokaw. While were in the other part of the house getting ready for school or work we always heard Jane's voice on in the other room. It was like listening to my other "mum". She had the most pleasant of voices I've ever heard. All these years later I get to see and hear Jane again.

Doesn’t make sense one bit since all his energy went into the most pressing urgent military matters. He would never had the time to woo a woman. That would have been the furthest thing from his mind. He was a committed man to his country and military. He might have liked her as he liked many intelligent women and enjoyed their company. There is nothing within her biography that leads me to believe this. Why did she marry that traitor Captain Morris. After his death Mary fled to England. So, I doubt she would have ever let herself become Washington’s first love. She knew who Morris was

The outline of the ramparts of Fort Washington are inlaid in the pavement. It has a US Geographical Survey marker---265 feet above sea level. November 16, 1776, combined English and Hessian forces defeated Americans defending the fort.

In 1914 Britain purchased Sulgrave Manor his Grandfather Ancestral Home, then in 2014 they purchased Washington Hall, his Ancestors ancient Keep. To celebrate 100 then 200 years of Peace & shared Heritage. Amazing story all the way to his Family, Fought for King Charles when the King was arrested by Cromwell and Beheaded, the Washington family changed for ever, John Washington looked West to America, a decision that changed the World.

Even if he lived at the mansion with Phillips they would have been surrounded by people including servants and his aide-de-camp, there is very little reason to believe that he and Phillips would have had enough alone time to sleep together, although Washington never had biological children and I assume that he was infertile after having a bout of measles was it?

*You're putting '2+2=7? maybe'*...(it's possible George was 'firing blanks'...but, it's also possible he wasn't) Modern 'DNA' examinations would be the answer to that question...mainly among the descendants of Washington's slaves! (there are examples of Georges' hair to test with) No matter what his 'personal life' was, it changes very little of verified history. (if I were to die today...and all you had to 'examine my life' with were interviews, school papers, legal encounters, etc. etc. ad infinitum...after years you would never know the 'real me as I am' unless I told you 'why this and why that?')

@Amy Sternheim digging further, apparently Washington had contracted smallpox as a young man and the speculation is that is what caused him to be infertile, and clearly his was the fertility problem since Martha had children already. The fact is that there is not even a shred of proof that he and Phillips lived together in her house at that time, I hate fan fiction with a passion and that is what this is.

@Amy Sternheim I found the smallpox connection from my research, I didn't pull the connection out of my back end, LOL. and because I am a total history geek, I found this abstract from a medical journal ""The study supports the frequent clinical impression that the incidence of obstructive azoospermia is very high in patients who have had smallpox. 4 of 5 such cases have obstructive lesions" I think that the other theory of Washington's inability to impregnate his wife has to do with a type of tuberculosis. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/4742002

as for this speculative novel the less said about it the better, it sounds like a "bodice ripper," and yes I am a snob, hahaha

She better be careful, there's lots of people out here with connections to President Washington. She can't makeup or change history.

It's just a "what if" book for entertainment. People need to stop taking it so seriously.

This sounds like some of the romantic novels I don't care for. George was not a stud, according to a trip we took to Virginia he had large pock marks from Smallpox, Tat the time they would fill the large crevices with bees wax, and cover with powder. I am sure he was admired but. This story has nothing to do with American HIstory.

He was left with only slight scarring, nothing major. In all the reading I've done on him I've never heard of him using bees wax nor did I ever read of anyone who met him during his lifetime mentioning that.

& that is also why Elizabeth I wore white face makeup. She had smallpox when she was young, which left scars. The makeup made her facial skin look better
