Last week, at the Biblical Antiquities Center in LaGrange, Ga. I put my hand upon this Bible. George Washington's bible is a French translation. His notes were composed in English in the margins. I can't seem to get away from George.Once, in Richmond, Virginia, I touched a door sill he walked through; in New York, across from the World Trade Centers, I sat in a pew he used; at Williamsburg, I sat at a table in a room where he, Thomas Jefferson, and the Marquis de Lafayette, met. But this experience, the touching of his bible, was the crowning event of them all.
