George had gotten the original for his grandchildren to play with.

I actually grew up just a few miles from Mount Vernon, and they address his love of mules during the tour at his plantation (which is a fantastic tour spot if you’re ever in the area) – and I’m fairly sure they had a few mules the last time I was there.

As a mule/donkey lover, I had heard of GW’s mules but only of the second shipment of jacks and jennies. I had never heard of Royal Gift and had no idea he was a mammoth! Fascinating tale and great photos, Thanks!
