An interesting detail about Washington's burial is that he specifically ordered that his body NOT be buried for at least 3 days after his death, for the exact reason that he, and many others at that time, was afraid of being buried alive.

Men of his time usually wore wool suits with pants that stopped at the knee, stockings, leather shoes, a shirt with a vest over the top and buttoned to the neck, a tie, and a n open jacket over that. Usually, they also wore wigs. Washington's hair was red, but he was often pictured with his white hair wig.

The entire outfit had to be very hot to wear especially in the summer months in the humid heat of the eastern colonies.

She was buried at her Mount Vernon estate in Virginia.

George washinton was only about 7 months younger then his wife Martha.

No, not really. His father was VA gentry and became fairly well off, but Washington knew that he would never inherit from his father. The law was that the older brother would inherit any land/wealth and Washington was a second son. Washington always felt that status and during the French and Indian War as a young British officer he would not admit he didn't know/read French when he signed a document admitting guilt to the death of a French diplomat he was escorting. All educated men of his time knew French. His marriage to Martha most likely gave him the life and status he wanted. She was a wealthy widow with 2 children and along with the start of the Revolution his gained prominence that lead to the Presidency.

Martha Graham used her method of "contraction and release" to use different parts of the body in opposition to one another to create spirals for dramatic tension. That's what her technique is based on. "Wheeling turns, off-center jumps, terrific balls, bodies spiralling to the floor and then surging upward again..."
