Book Synopsis
Mostly hidden from public view, scores of putative locks of George Washington's hair are held in the collections of America's historical societies, public and academic archives, and museums. Excavating the origins of these bodily artifacts, Keith Beutler uncovers a forgotten strand of early American memory practices and emerging patriotic identity.

Trade Review

In investigating this unexplored aspect of the founding, Beutler reveals there is more here than meets the eye." - Robert G.
