Discussion questions:

1. Why do you think being honest and fair helped Washington as a surveyor? Would people buy land if they thought it was surveyed incorrectly? Is being honest and fair important to surveyors today? is it important in other jobs? Why?
2. Why do you think Washington grew many food crops at Mount Vernon? Could he buy food at a grocery store? How was food cooked then? How do you think people kept food from spoiling?
