From The New York Times:
It turns out that George Washington was one good-looking guy.
The image of Washington as a young man is slowly becoming clearer, and it is not what first comes to mind when people think of the “father of our country.” Instead of a white-haired old man, think of a rangy hunk who looks like a quarterback.
…Standing 6-foot-3, very tall for his time, he had a prominent nose, a square jaw undamaged by dental disease and a slim, muscular build. With his piercing gray-blue eyes and long auburn hair that he wore in a ponytail, in another age he might have been a rock star.
