Summary
Casimir Pulaski gave his life for American liberty, and his story reveals the true cost of independence. In this episode of the America's Founding Series, Professor Nick Giordano explores the remarkable life of Casimir Pulaski, a Polish nobleman and "Father of the American Cavalry" who crossed an ocean to fight for a country that was not his own. From his daring charge that saved George Washington at Brandywine to his ultimate sacrifice at the Siege of Savannah, Pulaski's journey reminds us that America was founded not on bloodlines, but on an idea. Discover why an exile with no home became one of the Revolution's most vital leaders, and why his story is a haunting warning to an era that often takes its inherited freedoms for granted.
