The Garden Question
A highlight from 125 - Cultivating History: Exploring George Washington's Mount Vernon Garden - Dean Norton
"The Garden Question is a podcast for people that love designing, building, and growing smarter gardens that work. Listen in as we talk with successful garden designers, builders, and growers, discovering their stories along with how they think, work, and grow. This is your next step in creating a beautiful, year -round, environmentally connected, low -maintenance, and healthy, thriving outdoor space. It doesn't matter if you're a beginner or an expert, there will always be something inspiring when you listen to The Garden Question podcast. Hello, I'm your host, Craig McManus. Dean Norton fell in love with the Mount Vernon Estate Gardens 53 years ago and never left. After receiving a degree in horticulture from Clemson University, he began his career as the estate's boxwood gardener. The historical gardens of the first president of the United States, George Washington, became his responsibility in 1980. His promotion to horticulturalists allowed him to apply the latest plant science and horticultural management techniques for historical gardens. Dean has devoted considerable time to researching 18th century gardens and gardening practices. He has received awards for conservation from the DAR and the Garden Club of America, as well as the Garden Club of America's Elizabeth Craig Weaver Proctor National Medal. He is an honorary member of the Garden Club of Virginia and the Garden Club of Providence. He has been awarded an honorary doctorate from Washington College, serves on several historic property boards, and lectures nationally and internationally. This is Episode 125, Cultivating History, Exploring George Washington's Mount Vernon Garden, with Dean Norton, an encore presentation and remix of Episode 64. Dean, why did General George Washington, the first president of the United States, garden? Well, he really gardened for necessity. The earliest gardens were called gardens of necessity for health and survival. Of course, the most important plant to be planted within a garden were vegetables, something that you were going to have at the dinner table to eat. Vegetables were huge to him. Even during the Revolutionary War, he wanted to make sure that his troops were getting as many vegetables as they could whenever possible. I would not actually call him a gardener per se, but for a year and a half, he became a designer. He totally redid his country seat from a very simplistic design to one following naturalistic design principles. Then that landscape were four very fine gardens that he oversaw. What story does the Mount Vernon Garden tell? Tell us the story of a man that wanted his gardening world to be complete, I would say. He had a very small botanic garden, which he fondly called his little garden. When he was here on site, he was typically doing that work himself on his knees, planting seed and seedling saplings. He kept such good records in that little tiny garden that we were able to recreate that quite nicely. His earliest gardens were a fruit and nut garden and a kitchen garden, but when he changed his design, the kitchen garden remained as it is. The fruit and nut garden became a pleasure garden with vegetables in there as well, which is kind of an interesting combination. He had a vineyard for a while, but the grapes failed, and that became a fruit garden and nursery. The nursery was for plants that he could grow to plant on other areas of the estate and also to grow things just for collection of seed. What is today's mission for the garden? Today's mission for the garden is interpretation. We are trying to share with our visitors what life was like in the 18th century, why these gardens were important. Certainly after 1785, the gardens took on a new role, which was for people to come when he had created here at Mount Vernon. The story of gardeners themselves, the gardeners that Washington hired through the Articles of Indenture, also the enslaved gardeners that worked with the professional gardener to cultivate till to harvest. It's a great story. It's one that we thoroughly enjoy telling. Gardening really hasn't changed much from the 18th century, so the more we're out there digging in the earth, we think of those gardeners from the past. Today's visitors, how do they respond? I'll tell you what, when they come through the gates and they get to the Bowling Green Gate and see the house for the first time, that's exactly what they were expecting to see, this beautiful house that Washington lived in. But then the further they go into the landscape, they're really totally blown away by the amount of landscape and gardens that Washington had. They weren't expecting that at all. I think the gardens are well received, and I think that the stories we tell throughout the estate in so many different areas are certainly appreciated by our visitors. The garden's been there for about two and a half centuries. You've told us that there's four gardens that make up the Mount Vernon Garden. Could we walk through each one of those and you tell us about them? Sure. The panic garden is a simple garden, very small. It was intended to plant things that Washington was not familiar with, although sometimes other things that he knew quite well ended up in there as well. He received 500 Chinese seed, which he planted in one of the beds. None of them came up. So actually, we could show one of the beds with nothing but bare dirt and we would be exactly correct. That was his playground, and he truly loved getting plants he wasn't familiar with and planting them in there, and he did most of the work in there himself. There was an area that he started a vineyard, hoping to get some grapes for making wine, but that failed. That four -acre area became a fruit garden and nursery. Washington kept such good records that the fruit trees are planted exactly as he describes in that particular enclosure. Part of it is a nursery as well, where he grew trees and shrubs, also some other grasses and things just for the collection of seed. The kitchen garden was the first garden laid out in 1760, and that has been cultivated as a kitchen garden since 1760. It's never changed in its purpose, which is the only garden like that on the estate. Both the kitchen garden and fruit nut garden were an acre in size, so that's a significant garden. The nut garden changed from a garden of necessity to a pleasure garden, and that was meant to be the aha moment. When people were strolling around the Bowling Green, they could look through that gate, they saw a beautiful conservatory. The idea was to walk in there and just enjoy the beauty of the flowers, and those flowers were there for their enjoyment and not for their use. I think his gardening world was quite complete. You said the conservatory, would that be the greenhouse? That's correct. It had a greenhouse that he copied from a lovely property called Mount Clare, just to the north of Baltimore. The owner was Margaret Carroll. He asked for permission for some information, and she was thrilled and gave him all that he needed, even his first plants for his collection, to get his greenhouse started. I started studying that greenhouse in pictures. When I think greenhouse, I think a glass top or a plastic top or something like that, and this was constructed quite different. Could you tell us about how it was constructed and it was heated? The greenhouses in the 18th century typically just had glass panes on the south side, this was southern exposure. Also typically they were triple home windows, so you could open top and bottom to allow for good air circulation. This was quite modern, very good. It had a vaulted ceiling, so hot air didn't get trapped up at the corners. It had a wood door on the west side of the structure to keep afternoon sun from coming in. It was too hot. A glass door on the east side to allow morning sun in. It had shutters that closed very tight, so in the wintertime when you got whatever heat you could get from the solar energy, you could close those shutters and retain the heat overnight. It was heated by a stove room on the opposite side of the structure. The fire pit was quite low, and that hot air and smoke would go underneath the slate floor in the greenhouse and then rise up along the back wall and out the chimney. It was very efficient. It housed the semi -tropical plants and citrus trees in the winter. Not for them to continue to fruit, so he had lemons and limes and all that. Just to keep them alive in the wintertime. In all these gardens, he's combining beauty with necessity. How did he accomplish that? The one garden that really does that beautifully is the upper garden, or pleasure garden. He wanted a pleasure garden. He wanted the aha moment when someone walked into there. It's a 10 -foot -wide path, edged in boxwood with this greenhouse at the end. He was concerned, though, in that he didn't want to lose a lot of space to the growth of vegetables, which were still the most important plant that he grew on the property. 18th century horticulture said, look, George, you can do both. Plant your vegetables and then surround them with a border of flowers. The border could be three feet, five feet, whatever you so decide. It's the border that's actually the pleasure garden. So you're really not losing that much space to growing vegetables. How did Washington change his gardens to enhance Mount Vernon's natural beauty? He adopted the naturalistic style. There are four key elements of that. The curve line is nature's gift, management of surprises, random planting, and hidden barriers. If you can do those four things, you're well on your way to a wonderful naturalistic design. The management of surprises, the curve line helps you with that. Around each bend, you can do something different. The book that he's learning all these techniques from was written by a gentleman named Batty Langley. He wrote the book in 1728 called New Principles of Gardening. Washington purchased it in 1759. Langley goes in, he says, once you've seen one quarter of your garden, you should not have seen it all. There's nothing more shocking and stiff than a regular garden. He said every garden must have good shade. If you have to walk more than 20 paces in full sun, your walk is not worth it. Washington really took all these thoughts and comments to heart and made sure he put trees on either side of his serpentine avenues. Around each bend, he added shrubberies in wilderness areas and groves. It really was a complete landscape, and it was all just trying to stay within the qualifications or the requirements of a naturalistic garden. There are many historical events that took place away from Mount Vernon. For long periods of time, Washington was gone. How did he stay in touch with his garden and its growing? Much to his demise, much to our benefit, Washington, during the 45 years he lived here at Mount Vernon, he was away for 16 years, only visiting his house a couple times during all that time. When he is away, he's communicating with the land manager with lengthy letters, three, four, five pages long, giving him instructions to do this, make sure that is done, have you planted this, I want to try to do this next. We have that exchange of letters. Gives us a tremendous advantage in being able to represent Mount Vernon as accurately as we do in today's world. You should be considered the current garden overseer, but there's been many that have come before you. Have you got any good overseer stories about your predecessors? Yeah, there's some. I'm number 37. I don't know if that number is exactly correct, but I'm honored to be the current gardener, whatever number I am. They were all pretty competent in their practices. Washington called one clever because he was so good at grafting trees. Probably one of the cutest ones is when Washington's trying to hire a gardener. He's writing to his land manager saying that the gardener should not have any children, but if he does, only one, but certainly no more than two. He just keeps going on and on, giving almost any option possible for the gardener. He was always looking for the Scottish gardener because they were some of the best. I'm thrilled to be following in the footsteps of so many great gardeners. I hope that I'm continuing their tradition of maintaining a beautiful Mount Vernon. Tell us about the people that worked in the gardens during Washington's time. He hired gardeners under the Articles of Indenture, so they would come over, he would pay their way, and they would have to work that to pay Washington back. Some of them stayed for many years. There was a German gardener named John Christian Eller who was here for a number of years. They had a bit of a falling out, but apparently after Washington passed away, he actually returned because there is something in the notes about a German gardener saying that he used to work here. There is one from Holland, England, and then of course you had your Scottish gardener at the very end of his life, which Washington said that he was dedicated, sober, passionate about his work, and that in short, he's the best hired servant I've ever had. What makes it even better is that he says he has never been happier. I think that's really wonderful, and it certainly rings true for me. For being here at Mount Vernon as long as I have, my life here as a gardener has been a very happy experience. What did the garden go through between Washington's death and until the time it was bought by its current owners? It started to fall and disappear rapidly. Visitors' accounts have been occurring since Washington lived here. People visiting, and they write in their diaries or letters to friends, which is tremendously valuable to us, for that is our Polaroid to the past. Washington died in 1799, and visitors in 1801, 1802 are saying that it's deteriorating, it doesn't look anything like it did during Washington's time, so things just started to fall apart a little bit. You didn't have the money, you didn't have the dedication maybe to do as well. Not to say that work wasn't being done and things weren't being cleaned up as best as possible, but definitely it was noticeable to visitors that it was in a bit of disarray. When the Ladies Association purchased the property in 1858, things started to change, of course, quickly. And of course, Mount Vernon is in their hands today, it's a beautiful, beautiful site. Did they buy it from the family? They bought it from John Augustine Washington, the fourth Washington that owned the property before it was sold to the ladies. It cost them $200 ,000, and with that they received 200 acres, where others said you should take everything down but the mansion, because that's all that's important. They made the decision that they wanted to keep everything that was there during Washington's time, which was absolutely the right thing to do. We have all the outbuildings. It's an amazing opportunity for visitors to come to see an estate, a plantation, as it was during the time of the owner. Are there new discoveries being made through modern archaeology and research, or do you feel like you've re -established everything there? No, there are new discoveries all the time. It's amazing. Archaeology, the science, is becoming more and more exact all the time, with radar and LiDAR flyovers and just all these wonderful techniques that they now have. We're still finding letters that we didn't have before. Eventually we may find the plan that Washington did for the Bowling Green. We have the plan's key that is in his hand, but we don't have the actual plan itself. You can never write the final chapter in this adventure that we're in here from Washington's time till now. We try to represent things as accurately as we can, but we may find a new letter or something that will totally alter our interpretation of what we were using or going on to create an area that we thought was accurate, but new information may change that, and we will go back and make those changes so that it's historically accurate. Where did Washington acquire his plants? Initially, the landscape was completed by nothing but trees and shrubs that he found in his wildernesses surrounding Mount Vernon. So it's certainly a native landscape, and he identified these plants in the wintertime by structure and bud and had them dug and brought back. He did say that he was looking for exotics. He loved plants of all sorts. Now, we don't know if an exotic to him was Mexico or South Carolina, but what we do know is he said he wanted plants outside of his geographic area. People sent him gifts of plants often. Also he ordered from three of the principal nurseries of the time, John Bartram in Philadelphia, William Hamilton in New York, and Prince on Long Island. He ordered a lot of these plants and that he was experimenting with and putting within his landscape. I heard a story about a Franklin tree. Was that ever a part of the estate? The Franklinia, I think it was actually ordered from Philadelphia, and we've tried to grow them any number of times. We can't get them to survive. They're very finicky. They need to be in a spot they're really happy with, and so far we haven't found that spot on the estate, unfortunately. What's the significance of the Bond Plan? A gentleman named Samuel Vaughan visited Mount Vernon in 1784, I think it was, or 83. He was a landscape designer. He did a good bit of work up in the Philadelphia area, actually did some work around Independence Hall. He came and visited Mount Vernon, and in his sketchbook drew the plan of the estate, and then went back to Philadelphia. We drew a beautiful big plan that was very, very accurate. Washington said that you've drawn my estate accurately except that you've enclosed the view with trees, and so the only problem that Washington states is when looking from the house down the Bowling Green, down a vista to the forest beyond, there were two willow mounds that were planted on the Bowling Green. They weren't meant to act as punctuation points. No planting would occur within that, so you had a wide open view to the west. Whatever reason, Vaughan decided to draw trees all in there. In Washington's eye, it was all correct except for that. So it's a beautiful plan, archaeologists have used it, and all the buildings that he shows on that plan are where they find them when they dig in the soil. So he was recording the existence and not proposing new things. There's been some debate about that because Vaughan was a designer, and some say, well, how do we know that this is something Washington had, or was Vaughan drawing what he thought it should be? The written account seemed to support what Vaughan was drawing was accurate. So it's all about interpretation. We could look at two passages somewhere and interpret it both totally differently. I think the Vaughan plan is amazing. I think it's as accurate as we can possibly get. You've mentioned the Bowling Green a couple of times. What grass did they use in the Bowling Green? Their grass was called goosegrass or speargrass. They also had rye, and it's even bluegrass. It was a very coarse grass. Coarse grass was kind of important, actually, because they mowed it with the English sigh, and a very fine -bladed grass would be very difficult to cut with that implement, whereas the wider -bladed grass, they could cut quite nicely if they had a good sharp edge on their sigh, and the sickle, of course, would have been the weed eater. The Bowling Green was meant for games and entertaining and would have been mowed on a regular basis, rigged, rolled, and mowed right up until you may have a drought or something where the grass would stop growing, just like we have in an experience today. What variety do you grow there now? Weeds. It's just, I'm serious. It looks great from a distance, but if you walk up on it, it's just clover and creeping Charlie, and if it's green, I'm fine. We don't want to use chemicals on the lawn. We have a lot of visitors, a lot of children running around, so it's just as natural as possible. We overseed and everything, but no, just don't look too closely. Well, that'd be more accurate to the period, I guess. You know, I don't know. It'd be interesting to see the grass back then. It was maintained in a way that it was intended for them to bowl. They had lots of games with the hoops and other things, so it was used a great deal as a green for entertaining. How do you cut it now? Oh, we have John Deere's to go 13 miles an hour. It's pretty nice. You know, front deck mowers, it's great. Is that a reel? No, my goodness, no. Years ago when I started, our only riding mower was a Toro reel. Now, nothing against Toro, okay, but that thing never worked. Poor man that was operating, he was a World War II vet, and he was always in the shop just standing here waiting for his mower to work. So no, it's not a reel. My dad had a reel mower, and he was always working on it too. My dad's way to fix anything was with a screwdriver, not to actually tighten any screws. He would just beat on it. He was so upset. You've got the serpentine pass. What materials did they use? It was a combination of gravel and clay, pea gravel, smaller grade gravel, and it was cobblestone up around the circle in front of the mansion. Washington said if he could find any alternative form of paving, he would certainly use it because gravel roads were constant maintenance of raking, rolling, adding new gravel to keep them from being muddy all the time. That's exactly what was used in the gardens as well, was a gravel type path. Is that gravel mine from the Potomac? Washington talks about a gravel pit. It would seem as if they got a lot of it from the Potomac, and they would have sifted it to get the right size stone that they wanted. I think there were a couple sources, but not real clear on it. What kind of staff does it take to maintain all this? In horticulture, my responsibility has to do with anything that deals with chlorophyll and manure. The gardeners, just like in the 18th century, they said a garden an acre in size will require one full -time gardener, and so every principal garden we have is one full -time gardener working in that spot. Then we have a swing gardener that does all the smaller gardens and helps in the other gardens as well. We have a landscape gardener that takes care of all the non -exhibition areas. It's truly bare bones. We have some summertime help, college students, some high school. College students love it. We give them as much opportunity to learn whatever they want if they want to work in the greenhouse or use equipment. It's a really great program that we have for that. Then we have our livestock crew. We have five full -time livestock employees that maintain the genetic line of three very rare breeds, and those animals are here for interpretation as well. One thing I just want to share is that Mount Vernon is a very special place. People come and they don't leave real quickly. I've got almost 53 years. Our five livestock staff combined have 92 years of service here at Mount Vernon. It's just truly amazing. Wow. What type of livestock? We have a milking red devon, beautiful reddish -brown cow, aussebal island hogs, hog island sheep, and a Narragansett turkey. So all these are on exhibition at our Pioneer Farmers site, which is a site that we created in the 1990s down near the river. That's a site where we interpret Washington the farmer. That's the livestock's playground. They get to take the animals down there, the oxen, the horses, and work the fields. So it's really very exciting. It helps bring the estate to life. Are you taking the manures and the straw and things like that and using it in compost, or how does that all work? 100 percent. That's all we use. We have huge piles that we are able to windrow with using a manure spreader. We always have these windrows, just these lines of the material that is whipped around by the manure spreader. The row is about maybe eight feet wide, ten feet wide, and it's about six feet high. The oldest windrow is used as the fertilizer used in the gardens. And once that's gone, we windrow the next row over to aerate it again. We just always have a source of compost that we can use in the gardens, and it just works out beautifully for us. How long does it typically age? It doesn't take long, really. We have a pile that's been here for so long that even stuff that is not that old, maybe three months or so, when you mix it up with the other, it turns out very, very well. In the 18th century, Washington would take manure from the stables and just put them in a dung repository for a fortnight or two. You're only talking two or four weeks, and then they thought it was readily available for the gardens. So it was much more rapid for them than it is for us. Are there any special approaches that you take to maintaining a historical garden? The approach to maintaining a historic garden really is visual. We want them to see a garden that is planted in the manner that would have been in the 18th century. We want them to see what an 18th century garden looked like. As far as our actual practices, it is really no different than what would have been going on in the 18th century. Our tools may be a little sturdier, a little nicer, rakes, shovels, soil life, and everyone has one of those on their bill. You can do anything with those. As far as planting, we're definitely concerned about height derangement more than color coordination. We want to make sure the plants we plant are appropriate to the 18th century. Paths, the box which should be trimmed, are very short. They were never intended to be a backdrop for perennials, just as a border. That's the main thing. We want it to look right. The way we take care of it, that hasn't changed for 250 years. What are your biggest challenges with the garden? People, compaction, really the damage that comes from, especially kids, I used to share that the worst pest we can have is a child that's been on a bus for five hours from somewhere, gets here and the chaperones go, go, go, and they just start running. Back when we had big boxwood, they would just go and run and jump in and break a branch of a 150 year old boxwood within 10 seconds and that's hard to control with any kind of spray or whatever. But I developed to have a hard trap that was a bit larger. I found out I put an iPad or something in there, I could catch five or six at a time and I would let them off at the West Gate. The chaperones would eventually find them, but at least we got them out of the garden.

Would You Rather: 5K Edition!
"Rather do a 5K in all 50 states, right? So we would backtrack and do all the states over again. Or would you rather run 5Ks through the national park system? You know, it was really exciting when we did Idaho and Montana, because those were the 49th and 50th states for me to have visited. So it's been exciting already being in all 50 states. And that's the other fun part of this journey for you, is that we were able to claim that. And I know that's been a major goal for me because of my father. And he passed away six years ago, seven, almost seven now. And the one thing he lamented was that he'd only been to 49 of the 50 states. And so knowing that we've checked that off our list has been really great. And taking dad to the 50th state was really fun, too. We took his ashes skydiving in North Dakota. So I would say I would be much more interested in doing the national parks, because we've already been to the 50 states. Now we ran a 5K in all the national parks. Yes, because they have races. Oh, shoot. I just wanted to go to the parks. But what a good way to see them, though. But that's the thing. Now, just the idea of running a 5K is, well, let's do that in the morning and then go see whatever, you know, we might as well get a t -shirt and a medal out of something. And I'll probably want to go for a run anyway. And that's the remarkable part of this for me, is that I'm already thinking, boy, I didn't get to go out and run today and I really I feel like I'm OK with it, but I would rather get out and do something physical.

Ken Norton: "Running to the End of the Driveway Has Been a Workout"
"Your races, so your first 5k was UPR'd. That first day of the, when I did the four marathons and on my second day marathon was your first day of a 5k and UPR'd. And so that was really awesome, right? I thought so. And then the next day, the next race was a hilly race. It was really, really hilly. But I was only 30 seconds off from the PR. And then your last race, you PR'd again. I did. Yeah. So, and then now all your practice runs. So for those of you listening, I wouldn't normally have him do a three mile run. But now that he's experienced in a 5k, a three mile run is pretty easy for him. So his practice run... Which is shocking to believe because we get through the 5k and I'm like, really? That's it? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So those are things for you to reach out for your, you know, trying to think good things about yourself. It's like, wow, I PR'd. And that's coming from somebody who running to the end of the driveway has been a workout. You know, and going back to before I had the pacemaker put in that walking down the street, I couldn't do. But, you know, seeing my dad go through that, as well as seeing my dad be a weak person struggling with illness, it's encouraging to say, I don't want to live that life. But I also don't want you to live that life. Because I saw what my stepmother went through going to Italy with my dad and he ending up in the hospital. And, you know, it's not the way to see Italy. Or him sitting on a bench while she's out traveling in the city or whatever. And so, yeah, it's not been my purpose to get into running. I've been trying to figure out ways to push back the not going to run the last marathon with you. I've been trying to find ways to do it. But now I don't even want to wait until your 50th marathon to do

"We would volunteer at the Ironman, yes, there are people who can finish it at two o 'clock in the afternoon and they're done, but you really got to admire the people who are barely getting in at midnight because they've been out there for 10 extra hours and in pain. It's really inspiring to see those people and man, you just want to be with them and cheer them on, you know, ring those cowbells, do those things. I really do love the people who struggle more than the ones who do it easily. But I've also discovered when we were in Boston that even when we saw some of the elite runners, we stayed at the same hotel where they were doing the awards ceremonies. So we saw winners of the Boston Marathon and even those people you could see would be cheering on the people who came in last. For sure. Right? They're still being the ones, you got this, you know, it was the same in the dance world. You'd see the world champion ballroom dancers out there cheering on the amateurs of you got this. This is great. I the love fact that none of us are born into this. We've all worked from nothing to get to where we are and it's been an incredible journey. But I set out to not feel bad about myself anymore. And like I said, I still have work to do, but I feel good running. I feel good being able to talk to you while I'm running. I know. That never used to be the case.

So we saw winners of the Boston Marathon and even those people you could see would be cheering on the people who came in last. For sure. Right? They're still being the ones, you got this, you know, it was the same in the dance world. You'd see the world champion ballroom dancers out there cheering on the amateurs of you got this. This is great. I the love fact that none of us are born into this. We've all worked from nothing to get to where we are and it's been an incredible journey. But I set out to not feel bad about myself anymore. And like I said, I still have work to do, but I feel good running. I feel good being able to talk to you while I'm running. I know. That never used to be the case.

Carla's Better Half Ken Describes His Redo Syttende Mai 17-Mile Walk
"Show, Ken Norton. Thank you, Carla Coffey. I can't remember how to get you there, but if you poke around, you'll find it. So I'll look forward to that. Today we're talking to my better half. Welcome to the show, Ken Norton. Thank you, Carla Coffey. It's great to have you here. It's kind of hard to pin you down, so I appreciate you showing up. So I wanted to talk about our races that we just got done. It's been about three weeks since the big ones. But right before that, we did the Sent to Mai. Tell me about your experience this year for that. Well, the Sent to Mai was a 17 -mile walk to celebrate something. They have it every year. And I had attempted to do it last year because you were out running a marathon somewhere and I thought I'd be brave and sign up for a very long walk without any practicing or exercise getting ready for it, without any training. It was maybe 95 degrees last year while I was out there and apparently not training and being diabetic and heat caused a little bit of a problem while I was out on the course. I ended up not making it to the end of the course and ended up in the hospital dehydrated and in a sugar coma of sorts. So it was my goal this year to get out and do it better, train for it, and survive the course. By golly, we did. We sure did. That was a phenomenal feeling. Not only did we finish, but it actually felt good

"Agreed. Less than 5 years later, George broke his word. He cut off Caroline's allowance and started channeling her earnings from writing into his bank account. Which again, he was legally entitled to. Caroline wouldn't stand for it. Sure, she wasn't a legal entity, so she couldn't sue him or bring any type of case against him. But she wasn't going to let that stop her. She got her creditors to sue George on her behalf. The trial was grueling. George antagonized her. He sat close to her, used private knowledge to try and publicly discredit her and try to dredge up the Melbourne trial. Caroline was livid. She was done being quiet, existing without a say in her own life. She got up and defended herself, addressing the court directly. She got applause, but lost the case on a technicality. In response, Caroline simply wrote, I do not ask for my rights. I have no rights. I have only wrongs. As she had before, Caroline turned to writing in her time of need. But this time, since George was legally entitled to her income from writing, she'd only write about the need to change marriage laws for women. However, dense the subject matter, Caroline always infused it with her witty voice. I exist and I suffer, she wrote, but the law denies my existence. She published work after work about marriage, divorce, and women's legal standing in England. It worked. When a new divorce bill passed in 1857, portions of her own writing made it into the final document. Under this new law, married women could inherit and bequeath property, protect from a separated husband's claims on her earnings, and enter into contracts and civil suits on her own behalf. Finally, Caroline's legal battles came to a close. She dedicated herself to writing fiction and poetry and gained contemporary success. George died in 1875. Two years later, Caroline married an old friend, Sir William Sterling Maxwell. They got along much better and stayed together until her death on June 15th, 1877. She was 69 years old.

From wonder media network, I'm Jenny Kaplan, and this is William manica. This month we're highlighting ragers, women who use their anger, often righteous, though not always. To accomplish extraordinary things. Today we're talking about a woman whose sheer determination and wit transformed her into a pioneer of women's rights in 19th century England. Though, as a married woman, she had no legal standing. She found herself in a starring role on the courtroom floor more than once. Please welcome Caroline Norton. Caroline was born on March 22nd, 1808 in London. She was the third child of Tom Sheridan and Caroline calendar. Both of her parents had literary roots. Her father was the son of a famous Irish playwright, and her mother, the daughter of a society beauty with a keen interest in books. It was a tradition Caroline carried on. By the time she was 11, she and her sister had written a parody of a popular children's series. It was Caroline's first published work. The Sheridan family hit tough times. Caroline's playwright grandfather died penniless and her father died of tuberculosis when the kids were young. Caroline's mother was left with four sons, three daughters, and a modest allowance to raise them on. So when Caroline and her two sisters came of age, marriage became a top priority. Together, the three Sheridan sisters were referred to as the three graces. They were clever, beautiful, and three of the most eligible women of British society. Caroline had dark eyes and hair, a flirtatious streak and a fiery wit. She caught the attention of George Norton, a 26 year old who trained as a barrister, but didn't practice law. He promised Caroline and her mother that he had plenty of money, family connections and stability. On June 30th, 1827, 19 year old Caroline was married to George, and the troubles began. It's hard to find a single piece of common ground between Caroline and George. She was headstrong and smart. He disliked cleverness and kept to himself. She was a political radical, he was a staunch Tory. She was close with her family. He wanted Caroline to himself. Their marriage was an instant catastrophe. George didn't have the money he'd promised. Any titles to live off of or any aspirations of working. He expected Caroline to use her family connections to get him a cushy government post and pay their bills. And within months, he became physically abusive. Meanwhile, Caroline dedicated herself to her writing. What had been a hobby in childhood soon blossomed into a steady career. She published a book of poems in 1829 that garnered praise. And fattened her and George's meager income. Caroline sly wit always came out on her writing, turning simple tales and pamphlets into unmistakable hits. Caroline hosted salons, welcoming politicians and academics into her home. One frequent guest was lord Melbourne, the Home Secretary. He and Caroline got on well. Discussing Whig politics and poetry. He became a regular visitor to the Norton house, getting to know Caroline and her two young children Fletcher and brinsley. Maybe the only member of the family who didn't appreciate lord Melbourne's company was George. He continued to antagonize Caroline and her friends. Eventually, around Easter day in 1836, Caroline got so fed up that she walked out. When she returned, George had taken the kids to a cousin's house and ordered the servants there not to let Caroline in. The worst part? It was well within his legal right. At the time, married women in England had essentially no legal presence. As a wife, Caroline belonged to George, as did their children, their house and everything in it. Not even Caroline's writings were her own. And she certainly couldn't initiate a divorce. In fact, the only way to get a divorce was on account of adultery. So in May of 1836, George hatched a plan to divorce Caroline, steal some money and further his own interests. He took lord Melbourne who was by then prime minister to court. He alleged that Melbourne and Caroline had had an affair. The case rocked British society. Though it was partly a manifestation of George's personal vendetta, larger political motives were also at stake. If melberg was found guilty, he and the Whig government would lose favor with the new Queen Victoria. And George and the Tories could rise up in his wake. For days, a room full of men argued over Caroline's reputation. Her virtue, her marriage. Caroline herself never took the stand. Remember, she was a non entity in the eyes of the law. Eventually, the trial went in favor of Melbourne. After Georgia's witnesses were found to have perjured themselves. Caroline's reputation was saved, but since the court had explicitly ruled that she had not committed adultery. She had to remain married to George. He still wouldn't let her see her children. Caroline decided she spent enough time in court on Georgia's whim. She was going to go back on her own terms and change the law. Caroline used the network she cultivated through her salon to raise concern for her legal battle. All she wanted was custody of her children. She published pamphlets, notices an anonymous declaration supporting her platform. In 1839, parliament passed the custody of infants act. Which gave legally separated mothers custody of children under 7. But even changing the law wasn't enough for George. He took the children to Scotland, where English laws couldn't apply. The game of cat and mouse took a tragic turn when Caroline's youngest son William died after an accident in Georgia's care. Finally, George relented. In 1848, he granted her an allowance and separation. As long as she paid all her expenses herself. Caroline

The Surprising Reign of Mel Laird
"Talk about Mel Laird, because honest to goodness, roger, Richard, I have never thought about Mel Laird, other than he was the first term sect death. And I don't know it. He is, he's everywhere in this book. And I had no idea. He was like king of burning tree and of Jerry Ford's presidency. He's everywhere. There's a great line, actually, Bob Dole, who knows very well, had a lot in common with him. He said, Melania was the kind of guy who would put poison in the well. And then write down into town and promise to save everyone. He was the ultimate steamer, the ultimate weaker. I mean, probably there was no one in Washington in recent history who knew again. Which buttons to push. And he was, for example, he was insisting that Ford well, he was insisting that Nixon picked forward his vice president. He should want a John Conway.

"And by the way, I don't know how you found out some of this. The presidential, okay, the presidential chair comes up at least twice and you're once when Jerry Ford is first president. He sits on the sofa and I've been in the oval with presidents a few times. And you never sit in the president never sits on the sofa. He sits in the presidential chair and you can arrange yourself on the right or the left and in the sofa or the chair adjacent, and you do it, but he sits on the sofa with guests until Ronald Reagan is president and he gives the presidential chair to Jerry Ford. What a detail, Richard. Ford was a congressman. A critical to understanding the Ford presidency, he had to, in some ways, unlearn leadership is defined on Capitol Hill and learned to be an executive. There are two, as you know, there are two completely different functions. And yet, at the same time, the personal qualities that he had developed on the hill were the qualities that allowed him to establish lifelong relationships with the world leaders.

Tamale Eating Mishap That Defined a Presidential Campaign
"I told my wife last night Richard as I was preparing for this. They said, the funniest story in here, I don't know if I'll tell it, but I'll tell it now. I don't know how to eat it tamale either. Because I'm from Ohio. We don't have tamales in Ohio. So tell that story again. I think I'd forgotten it. And it's hilarious. Well, first of all, there was a mistake. I mean, Ford sort of realized, remember, there's a Panama Canal 3D times. Reagan was really riding a crest in Texas was made for Reagan was a democratic crossover state so all the wallets voters had the option of voting for Reagan. And stupid Spencer said biggest mistake you ever made, the important of like $300,000. Into a Texas primary. Well, it was also, this is classic Ford on the eve of the Texas primary. He sent Henry Kissinger to Africa. To announce a 180° change in American policy toward Africa, no more support for white minority governments, beginning in Rhodesia. And basically sending a message to South Africa. It basically the days of our part time, our number. The problem is this may be a great policy and maybe do policy, but it's not going to win your votes. It takes us Republican primary. And he was warned by Jim baker by Dick Cheney and everyone else. Typical and very 40 went ahead. He goes down there to campaign. George W. Bush told the story the famous tamale incident where. Hey, he was from Michigan. He didn't know about tamales. So he takes the shot off and he tries to eat it. And of course, the media even then, let's face it. That incident, which of course was a picture, got more attention than anything else in his campaign. It defined him in a way. And it played into the notion. This is a nice guy. Good old Jerry, but is he quite up to the job? And that was the thing he had to deal with almost more than anything else. But you

And I didn't know that he looks so bad when was it Hartman who went out to see him? I can't remember that detail. It's not my outline. Someone was sent by Jerry Ford to talk to him about this. And RN looked like he was not going to make it. Oh gosh, her name escapes me. Yeah, I know. He would never have said harmony. Happened was a real contentious figure. The White House was divided, basically. And the people who thought Hartmann was a useful counterbalance to the president's inclination to see the good and everyone, because Hartmann saw the opposite.

Jerry Ford's Surprising Relationships & Decisions
"That was it. And I do want to talk about two incidents which are separated by hundreds of pages. The gridiron in 1976, Chevy Chase's roasting him and Ford just completely self deprecates it. We look for the audio and we couldn't find it probably not there. And then flash forward decades and Chevy Chase is a patient at the Betty Ford center. Jerry Ford here watching misses Chevy Chase and Betty Ford trying to fix the video camera and Chevy wants to intervene in the president says, no, let's leave that alone. That's a very funny anecdote, Richard Norton Smith. Well, so what, you know, what has that's one of the things people will discover that there was a relationship with Chevy Chase. A lot of the relationships, Hugh Carey, democratic governor of New York, who was sparring with Ford across publicly over New York dropped dead, the whole headline, the Ford never said. The amazing thing. You carry voted for it. Against Jimmy Carter. Hugh Carey told me Jerry Ford has never gotten the credit he deserved for saving New York. What she meant was saving New York from itself by applying a tough love policy. He lost New York State and with it he lost the presidency in 76, but it's one of the decisions that look awfully good. 30 or 40 years old. There are many. We're going to talk

Like like an equivalent of promoter and ambassador there an ambassador women that live with diabetes in their communities and so we asked them if they would come to raleigh for a weekend so that we could give them some really specific and specialized attention and we started to really invest in the leadership and so we created a leadership institute we brought in experienced speaker a specialist to talk about specific topics. But then we also talked about how to run the pods. Meet up how to recruit women how to keep them how to moderate the group if you have someone who's overtaking conversation or people that can't stay on track so we really want to invest in that development but then again also provided more information so that when members of of their community were coming to them and saying i have ational diabetes. Got know what to do then they can say okay we learned about this is a referral site or this is where you should go or if we had somebody else that said i think like my issues are beyond the diabetes right now.

We talk a lot about that. We really don't mention. And this is why i'm pretty happy. We brought him on. The episode are on the show because right now it's hard to find people right team members. It's really hard to find him. Members i mean just showing up for an interview is like a great great thing because you know an employment. There's still unemployment and there's the rather sit around do nothing. Then you know work so it's hard to find people so we discussed how you should probably spend more time keeping the people you have right now. Happy and we go real deep into this. We discuss you know a lot of the times as dentists. we're always like we know the clinical side but we were never taught the business side in school right and then we're like okay. We to know the business side but we never really talk about more on the emotional side. Right of everything. The emotional side of owning a practice of owning a team of dealing with everything. and so. that's what we dive into in this episode. We discuss how we need to have a purpose in what we're doing and sometimes we lack contents of what we are doing. We think we need to be profitable right but okay.

You know there's so much that goes into this but we mainly discuss how we can start to inspire our team team is everything team will get you to where you need to be right. And i like how he puts it in a lot of he uses a lot of metaphors and analogies. And you really do have to find the strengths in your team. Members don't focus so much on their weaknesses and trying to turn those into strengths. Because if you do that then you're going to miss out on their strengths and that's something we do not want right. Just put them in the right seat at the right time and let them shine and you can inspire them to do that. We also discuss how you can start building more trust with your employees and vice versa. How can they start putting more trusting and we discuss Emotional agility this something. He was really deepen. I asked him. What is that. What is emotional. And so he goes really into Details about that. We also discuss. How just becoming aware of your emotions when a situation happens like a patient is late. A team members late and the patient is irate about something. How can we better handle those situations so we discussed this and so much more so guys. Without further delay.

"Wilson And the fact that His how how how. History changes people often ask. I'm sure you've been asked Was there a book that you read you know presumably as a kid that had a lifelong impact on u The equivalent of was there a teacher. You know someone and and the answer to me for me. Yes i what i was ten years old. I read a newly published book called when the cheering stopped by gene smith. No no relation. That was a very sympathetic account of wilson's last year's basically kind of skimmed through his presidency and and and dealt with the stroke in in nineteen nineteen his subsequent Political as well as physical crippling And then of course. His his brief retirement to street in washington and of course caught up in all of that the drama of the week of nations and wilson's attempt In some ways to Repeal human nature certainly challenge National convention and And and really Introduced the element of collective security As As a predominant theme of the rest of the twentieth century. Now many people would say. Wilson failed but wilson failed greatly Wilson's accomplishments like is failures are on a massive scale and he has such a rich figure that it makes for example. Perfect sense Fifty years after. I you know i was immersed in when the stopped that we are now immersed in and i won't even call it a debate because there's really so one-sided a reexamination perhaps a better way to put it We're all revisionist. Historians wilson is concerned and the revising is being done about his racial attitudes but also about the abuse of civil liberties that that he allowed to take place during world war. One i mean. There's there's a lot about wilson to debate But as i say the fact that andrea years after his death he is still striking sparks intellectual and emotional Tells you something about his continuing importance..

"Even boasts of its senior position in the history of american education and and due to accept that a measure of responsibility for leadership in american education and the red book was was the perfect example of that but it was it was inspired by conan's wartime efforts. Basically we adjust narrowly won this war. We were at the dawn of the cold. War component wanted that generation to be steeped in a sense of of american values and again it. It seems almost painfully naive in the amazingly diverse polyglot globalized culture of twenty twenty one but in nineteen forty six. It made perfect reason but the idea that which it was attached the idea that there was such a thing as a cohesive national culture. I think is something that it's easy to dismiss out of hand today Almost contemptuously On the other hand. I'm sure there are lots of people who at least in the abstract would tell you. That's exactly what we're missing and that that we have to make more of an effort. We may not attain it but in making the effort We'll we'll be better than we are will be west fragmented west divided If if we at least acknowledge that there are some values some cultural norms. Some traditions That that bind us I can't imagine anyone tried to write a red book in twenty twenty one but it would. It would be a useful exercise. It's interesting because as you point out not only that universities so called elite ones such as harvard of sort of abandoned metal field but the whole area of academic history seems to have fallen or decline violence outside into all these abstruse in a way self-indulgent topics yet at the same time we know from very successful writers. Like you david mccollough. David kennedy was a bit of an exception on the academic side and others. Are ken burns. There's a tremendous hunger to understand american history in the ways you're talking about. Oh any thoughts on how to rail this together a well. Well i'll watch the american experience..

I'm not a trained psychologist. What alone psychiatrist. And that makes me very very wary of of attempting to apply criteria In assessing historical figure That i'm not really qualified to apply beyond that i get speaking exclusively of my experience. I i'm very wary. I'm very old fashioned. In this sense.
