Bayonets, Swamps, and Red Tape

Move away from the sanitized, “marble statue” version of the Revolutionary War to explore the lives of the everyman soldier. In this episode, our featured Patriots, all fought in the war’s often overlooked southern campaign. The stories of James Moss, Jacob Braswell and William Rice offer a sobering reminder that the engine of the Revolution was fueled by people who often endured the most while receiving the least glory.
