Excerpt from Parson Weems: A Biographical and Critical Study Common people, but this designation errs in its exclusiveness, for he was nearly as much appreciated by the upper classes of society as by the mechanic and the ploughboy. Per haps the most obvious, although not the most important, claim that he has to our attention is the fact that upon his authority rests the best known of American hero tales - the story of George Washington and the Cherry Tree. His life has never been written with any re gard for accuracy and fullness, and this is an attempt to do so within the limits imposed by a seemingly impenetrable veil which covers many of the years of his life and many of his actions and motives.
