Abraham Washington

Abraham Washington is the owner and curator of the Capitol Preservation Society in Rivet City. He collects relics from the DC area, as well as famous documents. He is normally seen walking around Capitol Preservation Society rooms and sometimes around other parts nearby. Talking to Abraham Washington for the first time you will learn about his Capitol Preservation Society and some basic info about American history. After a short dialogue he will ask you to retrieve the Declaration of Independence from the National Archives. Most of the artifacts he has on display were pillaged from the National Archives. Due to his involvement with early US history, his name is likely an amalgam of Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. Looting from his rooms will yield nothing of major value. Although it is probably possible, I have not been able to kill him, even though I completed his quest.

Abraham will purchase the following:
 * Bill of Rights: Found in National Archives
 * Magna Carta: Found in National Archives
 * Action Abe Action Figure: Found in Museum of History Offices

Trivia
When asked about the history of the Declaration of Independence, Abraham will give a humorous, inaccurate description filled with anachronisms, saying that the document was made in some strange town in Maryland, rather than Philadelphia, and was taken by plane to Britain to be presented to the king. He also calls the Revolutionary War the Evolutionary War. His issues with history are understandable considering that after 200 years, the obvious lack of an institution to preserve history would force them to use damaged archives, which might have certain names barely readable, hence the odd city name and "Revolutionary War" becoming the "Evolutionary War".
