Many U.S. Presidents and military leaders had a prophetic nature...it's something that seems to go hand-in-hand with our nation's history. Much of
what was said and conducted by our founding fathers has been lost to time but it is quite apparent that their esoteric beliefs, including Masonic
rites and Rosicrucian ideals, demonstrate their mystic predispositions and the basis for which the United States was created. Judeo-Christian values
are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the common culture of the American experiment.
George Washington's Vision and American Prophecy
Many believe the story to be authentic, but most historians believe it is a legend, similar to the story of George Washington chopping down the
cherry tree. Historians point out the story of the angelic vision was unknown during Washington’s life. It is first found in the writings of Charles
Alexander (1836-1927) who wrote fictional “dream” stories about many famous Americans. Alexander wrote that in 1859, a 99-year-old man named
Anthony Sherman, who claimed to have been an aide to George Washington, confided to the author. In the National Tribune, 1880, an article appeared
giving an account of the "Vision of Washington" at Valley Forge. The article was reprinted in the Stars and Stripes on December 21,
1950.
