America's First Folk Hero: CT's Israel Putnam

Описание к видео America's First Folk Hero: CT's Israel Putnam

One of the most accomplished military leaders in U.S. history was Israel Putnam. He doesn’t hold the same name recognition as George Washington, Ulysses Grant, or George Patton but he had multiple remarkable military successes. He organized the effort at Bunker Hill, was Washington’s military “go-to fixer” during the Revolutionary War, and defended the Hudson River by having heavy chains stretched across the river to successfully keep British ships from navigating along it. There are so many incredible stories about his legendary bravery, leadership, and accomplishments. You’ll hear about them from the author of a new book on Putnam, Michael Westerfield.
