这本“唯一的、不朽的、可疑的轶事”以及其他类似的故事的影响，使这本书成为美国民间传说史上最具影响力的书之一。最初以一本名为《乔治·华盛顿的一生和难忘事迹》的80页小册子的形式出版，很快就获得了巨大的人气。1806年出版了所谓的第五版，第一次包含了乔治·华盛顿和樱桃树的故事;这本书流传至今，尽管很大程度上是基于那个小插曲。这本书遵循了第九版(1809年)的文本，其中包括了所有著名的轶事。这次再版的独特之处在于它对梅森·威姆斯和其他华盛顿传记作家的详细评论。
The effect of this "single, immortal, and dubious anecdote," and others like it, has made this book one of the most influential in the history of American folklore. Originally published as an eighty-page pamphlet entitled The Life and Memorable Actions of George Washington, it quickly attained immense popularity. In 1806 a so-called fifth edition was published which contained for the first time the tale of George Washington and the cherry tree; the book has survived to this day, although largely on the basis of that episode. This volume follows the text of the ninth (1809) printing, which included all the famous anecdotes. This republication is unique in its detailed commentary on Mason Weems and other biographers of Washington.
