Most U.S. presidents engaged in some sort of outdoor sport, prior
to, during, and after their term of office. Without question,
George Washington's main outdoor sporting interest was to be
astride his favorite mount riding to the hounds in pursuit of
Reynard the Fox. This sort of riding came easily to him after
spending countless days on horseback surveying, participating in
the French and Indian War in western Pennsylvania, the
Revolutionary War, and at Mt. Vernon overseeing his plantation,
visiting neighbors, and traveling. By all accounts he was a superb
horseman. However relatively few sportsman-historians today appear
to know that George Washington also hunted and fished below Mt.
Vernon on the Potomac River and its tributaries. A fascinating
account of George Washington's sporting life from his own journals!
