It was Colonel Knox, I believe
Matt Hotter Tony and Katie
To keep is hurt foot warm
In "George Washington's Socks," the heaviest captain, Simon, gets Matt confused with his great-grandson Jed. Simon mistakes Matt for Jed due to their similar level of boldness and sense of adventure.
Matt promised Israel that he would find a way to keep his family together and take care of them after Israel passed away.
This is an age-old question that philosophers have been asking for centuries. Matt and Israel are of course symbols of a divided cloth / men of the cloth / priests robes. The socks are a symbol of foot washing, with its religious overtones. The answer is that when George Washington said his feet stank, he wasn't lying. Matt and Israel were lying (when they wore sandals). That is the difference. Feet need socks sometimes, under the cherry tree.
The climax of "George Washington's Socks" is Q and Katie's capture. They are both captured by the German Hessians, or soldiers.
What up
poor man
In "George Washington's Socks," Israel and Matt overhear a critical conversation about the Continental Army's plans to cross the Delaware River and launch a surprise attack on the British forces in Trenton, New Jersey. This information is pivotal as it highlights the strategic maneuvers of George Washington during the Revolutionary War. The boys' discovery of these plans adds a sense of urgency and significance to their time-traveling adventure.
