A surveyor measures land.
As a teenager, George Washington had to move to his older brother's estate in Virginia. There, George taught himself how to survey land. His brother's wife was related to a wealthy Lord who lived on the next farm over. While on a walk, the Lord met young George. The Lord liked George and took him under his wing, even letting George read the books in the Baron's library. The older man owned lands west of the Blue Ridge Mountains but because they believed the US was small, he was not sure how much-- just that he owned "to the ocean" to the west. (That would be the Pacific Ocean, but he did not know that ocean existed or how far away it is from VA.) So he sent young George Washington to survey the Baron's lands on the other side of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The Baron's brother and a small group of men went with him. Once over the mountains, George was so taken with the plants and scenes that he spent time drawing these. He also found an Indian hunting hut and met some Indians. George never completed his measuring for the survey, and his notebook was full of pictures and descriptions of the land, the plants, and the Indians.
