Meet the "One Man Army" who did the heavy lifting for American Independence! ⚔️ This is Fact #187 in our massive countdown to the 250th Birthday of the USA!

In an era when the average man was 5'7", Peter Francisco was a literal giant at 6'6" and 260 pounds. George Washington himself called him his "One Man Army" for a reason. At the Battle of Camden, Francisco allegedly saved a 1,100-pound cannon from British hands by hoisting the entire barrel onto his shoulder and carrying it to safety! 

Later, at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, he charged into the fray with a custom five-foot broadsword, taking down 11 British soldiers single-handedly. As we approach America 250, we celebrate heroes like Francisco who provided the raw strength and grit needed to forge a new nation.
