“By bringing this to me, do you realize you've just written yourself into the history books? But enough of that. Allow me to present you with some sort of compensation for your deed.”

Background[edit]

Publications[edit]
“Washington, 45, continues the work started by his parents, who were just as passionate about preserving their heritage as residents of the nation’s capital. He’s a virtual shut-in at his Capitol Preservation Society. Abraham is one of those classic social outcasts who talks to himself all the time. He has almost no social skills and has a deeper emotional connection to his historical objects than he does to any human being. He requests that you help him locate some documents in Miscellaneous Quest: Stealing Independence.”— Fallout 3 Official Game Guide - Wasteland Census

Quotes[edit]
- "Abraham Washington's the name... curator of this little slice of American History."
- "By bringing this to me, do you realize you've just written yourself into the history books? But enough of that, allow me to present you with some sort of compensation for your deed."
- "Each of the documents in this room tells a small but important story about the history of the United States. Unfortunately, the greatest prize of all is missing from the collection."
- "On July the 4th in 1776, a group calling themselves the Second Judgmental Congress got together at Fort McHarry in Maryland. After a ceremony which ended with Paul Revere singing the famous battle hymn known as the National Anthem, the document was signed. From there, it was sent to England by plane presumably and presented to King George himself. Thus began the Evolutionary War."
