Revolution 250 Podcast - The Revolutionary World of Jacob Francis

On this Christmas Eve we wanted to reflect upon the epic story of General Washington crossing the Delaware with what remained of his Continental Army on Christmas Eve, 1776. Thanks to author and historian Larry Kidder we were treated to the Revolutionary World of Jacob Francis, a Free Black man from New Jersey who, as a "Massachusetts" soldier, participated inn the crossing. Join Professor Robert Allison in conversation with William "Larry" Kidder on the life and experiences of Jacob Francis, Washington's crosing, and the famed 10 Crucial Days.
