※2 It is commonly said that Washington stood six foot two or three, an
estimate that gained currency after a doctor measured his corpse at six
feet three and a half inches. Even though dozens of contemporaries pegged
his height at only six feet, there is no need for any guesswork.
Before the Revolutionary War, Washington ordered his clothes from London
each year and had to describe his measurements with great accuracy. In
a 1761 letter, he informed his remote tailor that “my stature is six feet,
otherwise rather slender than corpulent,” and he never deviated from that
formula.
Obviously, Washington couldn’t afford to tell a fib about his height to
his tailor. One can only surmise that when the doctor measured his cadaver,
his toes were pointing outward, padding his height by several inches compared
with his everyday stature. |
