George Washington’s Mulatto Man – Who was Billy Lee? by Jim Thompson

Although his association with George Washington allowed him to become famous, the reality of Billy Lee’s life was a tragedy. Thompson traces Billy’s life through all its vague twists and turns, and reveals a number of unfamiliar, yet fascinating qualities of George Washington's character, as well as a number of neglected aspects of America's racial history.
