Reportedly, George Washington. The story of George Washington and the cherry tree first appeared in The Life of Washingtonby Parson Weems (1800) . He attributed it to an old lady who knew Washington when he was a boy. It is almost certainly a fable without any factual basis.
A cherry tree.
No he didn't because the story is about George Washington and how he chopped the cherry tree not Abraham Lincoln cutting down an apple tree.
The Eleventh Hour - 1962 Who Chopped Down the Cherry Tree 2-18 was released on: USA: 29 January 1964
No..Although George's handbook listed his early education; there is no mentioning at all that he chopped down a cherry tree, nor any mentioning of his father ever owning a cherry tree..He may had chopped down some small branches from an oak or pine when he was a small boy ; but it would't had been a cherry tree.
A cherry tree It is a story. He did not really cut down a tree.
a bushTREES!!!!!! you know that story about how George Washington chopped down a cherry tree? well there is your answer!
He didn't chop down a cherry tree. This was an allegory written in a book by Parson Weems a 100 years after Washington lived and somehow it has become "truth" in history books.
George Washington. This is not true. It is a parable written a 100 years after his death
In America most trees chopped down.
chopped rings
For every tree that is chopped down to make lumber, a new tree should be planted in its place.
The George Washington myth was a story that Parson Locke Weems made up portraying how honest George Washington was. The story involved George chopping down his father's cherry tree as a young boy, his father asks him if he chopped the cherry tree down and George tells him that he "cannot tell a lie."
