In this America's Founding Series episode of The P.A.S. Report, Professor Nick Giordano tells the incredible true story of Samuel Whittemore, the nearly 79-year-old farmer and veteran who stood alone against British forces during the retreat from Lexington and Concord. With nothing but a musket, two pistols, and a sword, Whittemore launched a one-man assault against the world's most powerful army, surviving a shot to the face and thirteen bayonet wounds to live another eighteen years. His astonishing courage reveals the forgotten spirit of self-reliance, resilience, and civic duty that fueled the American Revolution and stands in stark contrast to today's growing culture of government dependency. This gripping, historically accurate narrative brings to life a forgotten patriot whose story embodies American grit and the timeless fight for liberty.
