In the first part of our deep dive into one of the greatest myths in American history, we explore Mason Locke Weems—the complex character behind the story of young George Washington taking a hatchet to his father's favorite cherry tree. Who was this book-peddling parson, and how did this story become so popular and so debunked?

You'll definitely want to hear our next episode, too, where we talk with two men seeking to turn everything you know about this myth on its head.
