On the latest episode of the podcast with readings so interesting they put you to sleep, our fourth installment from “Philip’s Principles, or, Physical Science at Home,” by John Trowbridge, published 1898. Our narrator endeavors to teach geometry to his son Philip by surveying their yard with the intention of building a golf course with appropriate drainage. Father exploits Philip’s interest in George Washington by studying Washington’s youthful work as a surveyor. If you stay awake long enough, you’ll hear an old-fashioned adventure story in which Washington leads his crew in avoiding a party of Indians and their dog. Spoiler: by Washington’s order, the dog is not harmed.
