I wish good luck.Great respect from 🇵🇱🕊️🤝
Casmir Pulaski is one of the most bad-ass professional soldiers of all time. The father of American cavalry.
Franklin: "Would you like to come fight for freedom on behalf of some colonists a whole ocean away against rather slim odds (and we probably can't pay you) - well, how about it?"
Pulaski: "You had me at 'fight for freedom'."
🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️

Freedom is a thing for which money only may, or may not be a mean to.
It is far more important than all of the combined riches of this world.
Casimir Pulaski got almost a whole minute in my high school American History class. I doubt he gets that much today.
He doesn't My son went to high school in 2015-20219 and they hardly even teach about Revolutionary war, and never mind about Pulaski or Kosciuszko. They do have 6 hours on BLM though...
"Father of American Cavalry" - now that is a worthy name! Truly a great American was Casimir Pulaski. I had had no idea that the US Navy has a submarine named for him. Thanks History Guy for yet another great presentation!
A great Pole*
What's funny is I live in Pulaski County, Arkansas (not in any city either), and I knew it was named after Casimir Pulaski, but not why.
I learned something new today.
I live in Pulaski county Arkansas too. I am also glad to know this about the man.
Indeed , your ignorance IS funny.
Seriously? There are Pulaski counties in other states as well, named after him. There is a bust of him in front of the Pulaski County courthouse in downtown Little Rock. I’m from Benton, btw, and lived in Little Rock (in the Quapaw quarter) through most of my 20s.
Perhaps you haven’t lived in the area long; it’s always good to learn about your local history, not to mention interesting!
@@ashleydixon4613 I've lived in Sherwood and now I'm the county for 19 years. I've never been to.the county courthouse and I've never bothered to look him up. I love history, but I just haven't.
I'm from Chicago. In the early 1950s there were more ethnic Poles in Chicago than the population of Warsaw, Poland.
Same here. I spent most of my life (close to 30 years) living in a neighborhood on the NW side with a large Polish population and only about a mile from the Chicago street that bears his name.
Sadly that's not really because of how many were there. More like because of how many were murdered in WW2.
@@lordgarion514 : that is an interesting comment: do you mean that, because England and U.S.A. did not meet their treaty obligations to protect Poland from Nazi aggression, then in the 50's, feeling guilty about the betrayal, American municipalities and states named things "Pulaski" to make up for that?
@@tomsenft7434
Umm, the UK signed a treaty with Poland just before Germany invaded, and they declared war, and actually fought, Germany.
There was no treaty to "protect". That's not how treaties work. There was a treaty to come to Poland's aid if attacked, which most certainly was done.
Don't remember the US having a defense treaty with Poland TBH, so can't comment on that. But I'd be surprised if we had one considering the isolationist stance of the US at the time.
But it's apparent from your comment about the UK that you don't know much about what you're commenting on.
@@lordgarion514 : I will check into my understandings of the build-up to WW2. Thanks for your intelligent comment.
A lesson lost to the last few generations, who do not understand the cost of freedom.
His descendants pay rent and aren’t allowed to collect rain water. And Get banned from UA-cam.
People are too self-centered and immature to realize there is something greater than them. Imbeciles repeat the same mistakes over and over and we are surrounded by imbeciles who are too lazy to learn anything. A good example is traitor Trump.

Brad Taylor I reside in NJ in a town full with polish and the majority does not who is Pulaski I am Puerto Rican and i know who is him. In Belem the PA I saw a church were Pulaski Franklin Washington attended. Go and see a emotional place.
Judith Sanchez I am proud that you live in USA.
I never heard of him until now. Thanks for filling me in on this true hero!
For our freedom and yours..Proud to be Polish.
Me too! (Baronoski)
Prouder to be American
I give a shit about both American and Polish patriots.//// Mam w dupie polskich i amerykańskich patriotów.

I am actually from Pulaski Ga, which is a small town about 60 miles east of Savanah Ga. My ancestors were among the founding fathers of the town and were among those who chose the name, around 1792 as the family legend goes. We still have family there and I grew up hearing stories about Gen Pulaski but never from school, only from the elders of the town. A story like his needs to be taught and remembered more often than it is today.
60 miles east of Savannah??
I live only a few blocks from the Pulaski monument in Baltimore and near Pulaski Highway. It's always nice to see people remembering the great Polish American Hero.
ananegg I have always wondered about the origin of the Route 40 name.
I grew up near Pulaski Highway where it turns into Orleans St going into the city. Was always curious of the name. And still feel a connection to the name since growing up there.
One of my distant cousins was Pulaski’s second in command at Savannah
In Med school, we were told that Pulaski introduced to Washington's Army cabbage as a way to ward off scurvy which was affecting the troops during the winter months.
Maybe thinking about Casimir Funk?
"The biochemist Casimir Funk (1884-1967) was, in 1912, the first to discover and use the term vitamin; his so-called vitamin hypothesis postulated that certain diseases such as scurvy and pellagra resulted from lack of crucial substance in the body; Funk also went on to do research in sex hormones and cancer; he lived in the United States from 1939 until his death. Dr. Stanley Dudrick developed the important new method of vein feeding termed IHV- intravenous hyperalimentation."
Good information...
Thanks, I grew up in New Jersey and went to school in Hoboken. I used to drive over the Pulaski Skyway all of the time when I was in college. I knew it was named for someone related to the revolution but I never knew the story. I really love your channel and I've watched many of the videos over the last week or so since I found it. I find all your stuff incredibly interesting. You are doing a really good job.
mmm Hoboken not to far from where I grew up. Did you go to Stevens Tech?
Awesome review of a Great American and Hero of Poland. Here in Chicagoland he is much loved. Even the Italian Americans hold him as one of their own as a Champion of Freedom. God Bless America.
Thank you so much for this short presentation of the subject about general Kazimierz Pulaski, the hero of TWO continents. I am a Polish Canadian, and I am a history guy by passion, not University education. By the coincident, my former Elementary School in Warszawa, Poland, located in Praga Polnoc, on the right side of the Wisla river, was named after general Kazimierz Pulaski, and he was a patron of our Elementary School, where his memory and tradition was maintained very well, even during the communist era in Poland (1945-1989). >> One day, I would love to visit Savannah in Georgia, to pay respect to the Polish hero born in Warka, south from Warszawa. Warka region and local brewery originally was the property of Pulaski's family. These days, they are still producing there a very good beer, called "PULASKI". In the upstate NY it is a small town called Pulaski, located on the Eastern shore of Lake Ontario.
THANK GOD FOR GENERAL PULASKI A TRUE FREEDOM FIGHTING HERO
@@50amador >> AMEN.
In our Georgia History classes we were taught about the heroics of all those Europeans, foremost among them Casimir Pulaskl, who came to the aid of the emerging American Nation in its struggle for independence. There is an early American fort named for him, and a county in Georgia is named for him...I hope you get to go to Savannah. It is a beautiful and historic place...
Savannah is definitely worth visiting for many reasons, including this. While there, drive by Casimir Pulaski Elementary School.
When I was growing up in the 70s the Polish jokes were ubiquitous. Does anyone know why they were so maligned? I’ve never understood that.
Thank you for this. I was a U.S. Cavalry Scout for 10 years, and have Polish Grand Parents, and had never heard of Polaski. Great video. ( downloaded and shared on Facebook to educate my fellow Cavalry Scouts!)
Excellent! And I thought that only ex-Cavalry types like myself knew of Casimir. His doctrine lives on
Thanks, Buffalo NY, we have a Pulaski Day Parade, and now I know why we celebrate Pulaski Day here! Thanks again
As an Oregonian, I’m familiar with the fire fighting axe used to fight forest fires called the Pulaski, named after Ed Pulaski, an assistant ranger for the Forest Service. Interesting to hear the story of another great Polish American.
When we lived in Chicago, even the schools let out for Pulaski Day. But no one I asked, including my kid's teachers knew who he was! I wish I could go back and tell them.
Living most of my almost 61 years in the suburbs of Chicago I have always known of Casimir Pulaski. Pulaski Road is a major North-South street in Chicago and knew him because of that. But until now I never knew his story. Thank you, History Guy!
Now I know what I'm drinking for during Pulaski days here in Grand Rapids Michigan during October. Thanks for that!
Fun Fact: Not so long ago Poland ordered several new planes for transportation of most important people in the state. A Gulfstream G550 was given a name: "Generał Kazimierz Pułaski".
As a Man that serves this country today, but is from Polish decent, it's truly a point of pride to know the land of my ancestors helped found a land land I so love and have sworn to protect. I am far from a Calvary man of my ancestors, but still hope my work can turn the tide of a battle.
My last name is casimir I’m pretty sure I’m descended from royal
In Chicago, there's a major road called Pulaski Road. But as soon as it crosses into the suburbs, it's named Crawford Avenue.
Thank you! I am a US Navy Submarine Service Veteran, and I always wanted to know why a Ballistic Missile Submarine (SSBN) was named after Casimir Pulaski, now I know. Satisfaction satiated. :)
I'm sure I'm not the first person to say this, but the History Guy brings to life the phrase, "You learn something new every day." Thank you for that.
Thanks, History Guy! That's way more than I ever knew... I guess it's not such a silly day off after all.
Carolyn Howk Thank you!
Carolyn Howk nope! 🇵🇱
In Baltimore city there's a park called Patterson park it has a bronze scene of Pulaski in a battle it's an amazing piece of art
I lived on Pulaski Square in Savannah, for years. Never knew who he was. There is a Fort Pulaski, as well.
I live just a few blocks from Pulaski Rd in Chicago, so I am reminded of him often.
I live very near Pulaski, NY now I will think of him each time I go by that town.
Finally I know why my High School in Milwaukee, WI was named after him! This goes back too many decades - yet the fact we were never told about Pulaski High School’s courageous namesake was a true loss: particularly with the significant German and Polish heritage in my former community.
Proud graduate of Pulaski County High School in Virginia and former resident of its county seat… Pulaski. Once worked very briefly for Pulaski Furniture Co., but I can not say I was proud of that.
The longest highway in the state of Maryland, the Pulaski Highway, is named after this man, too.
I went to Pulaski Street Elementary School, which is located in my town's Polish Town District. Thanks for this video because I had no idea who he was.
Great story. I live in Pulaski Tennessee. Know the history of Pulaski, but am amazed at how many do not . Thanks!
Neighbor! Patriot! ❤
Please do a story on this man Tadeusz Kościuszko. Another Polish-Lithuanian who helped in the American Revolution. He has a town in Mississippi named for him right by the Natchez Trace. The little museum there has his uniform and other artifacts. Interesting man. Was friends with Thomas Jefferson.
Karin and the Twin Bridges on interstate 87 in upstate New York are named the Tadeusz Kosciuszko Twin Bridges, he also tried to get the American commanders to post men on sugarloaf mt across from Ft Ticonderoga by firing a canon at Sugarloaf Mt.
He designed also .... West Point.
And now in the United States the president spews hatred for all who are immigrants. The United State would never have been born if foreigners did not help us. I apologize for all the "uneducated" Americans including the current president, traitor Trump.
@@Patricia-zt8ub you are a total fool!
I got here just a few days ago. You do such a fine job of it. Being of Polish origins, both on my mother's side and recently my fathers, he said they were from Austria, he died in 1967 it never dawned on me that the part of Austria that side of that family came from, here since 1866 was one Poland. You live and you learn.
Amen.
George Semel my exposure to polish culture was from my wife she turned out to be a complete psycho but that's a whole nother story so I gave her the boot
There is also a Fort Pulaski outside of Savanna, GA. It was part of the coastal defense built after 1812.
It was pretty much invulnerable when built, but became one of the first victims of the newly developed rifled cannon that put holes in the walls (which are still there) during the Civil War.
It's a National Monument now. It's an interesting place to visit.
Yes, Fort Pulaski was named in honor of Casimir Pulaski.
Holy cow! A reply in less than 5 minutes on a video over a year old? :)
(Great channel, btw. As a amateur history guy, you do a great job!)
The moat built around Ft, Pulaski was commanded by a Lieutenant of Engineers named Robert E. Lee
Thank You History Guy! He deserves to be remembered for sure!
Grew up near Pulaski High/Park in Milwaukee. Loved your show on the Peshtigo fire. However, it's not Pesh-tee-go but rather Pesh-tuh-go. Keep up the good work.
Hi, I am Pole and it's plasure to see the video made by american historian about our common hero - Casimir Pulaski (or in polish language Kazimierz Pułaski). Thank you sir!
Thank you for sharing this information about Casimir Pulaski.
I served aboard the USS Casmir Pulaski. I've also visited his grave and fort Pulsaki in GA. I've noticed quite few statues of him in my travels.
Did he mention the fort on the coast near Savannah named after him: Ft. Pulaski?
I live in Newark, NJ, USA. One of the most amazing features of our East facing skyline is the Polanski sky way. don't forget Kosciusko
I went to Pulaski Elementary as a youth, always thought it a funny name until I learned about Casmir Pulaski. Great episode, thanks for these history lessons.
Where was your school? I attended Pulaski Elementary in Savannah GA.
I grew up in Pulaski County Arkansas and I knew a little about him. He needs to be held up as an example of what a great warrior is!
I'm 54 years old and this is the first time I've heard of Casmir Pulaski. Thank you for educating me.
Thank you so much! I'm from Chicago. CPS first gave schoolchildren Pulaski Day off when I was a young girl. Our teachers tried to tell us who he was. Ashamed to say; we didn't care, we were thrilled to get an extra day off. Some of my friends, family and I were discussing this recently. My children are young adults now and I raised them in another state, so I wasn't sure if the schoolchildren still got the day off. I found out that they did and not one of could say who this man was, we had to Google it. Embarrassed to find out he was a hero for our country and none of bothered to find out who he was. Especially knowing there's a large street and park not very far from us named after him. He does truly deserve to be remembered. I love everything you and your son do and love all of your videos.
Kazimierz (Casimir) PULASKI = the right man, on the right time, at the right spot on the Earth !!!! >> Gen. Pulaski was a developer of the tactical units of the US horse cavalry !!!
Great info. Waynesville Missouri is in Pulaski County. Was at Fort Leonardwood and now I know the Pulaski history.
Thanks History Guy I learn so much from you. I'd never heard of Pulaski or the Polish Empire. Could you do a video on the Polish Empire please?
I plan more episodes on the history of Poland yes. ua-cam.com/video/Tu3tREaE4Xg/v-deo.html
I just discovered your channel and it's been so great so far. Please please please keep up the work :D
Love the stamps!
I’ve known that stamp for decades but never knew the importance of this man to our cause. One of my favorite so far History Guy!
Just found you from a "recommended by a 'friend' of mine" & now I MUST watch all your videos; I'm going in chronological order... from where it all began. I also have a BA in History & chose to double major ONLY bc I loved history so much.
Thank You for these!
I like the old intro.
We have a Pulaski in Tennessee and they're damn proud of it.
Greetings from Germany, THG! I grew up in one of those Pulaski Counties, near the town of Pulaski. (You actually showed the historical marker from it in your video briefly.) So I am familiar with his story, but it's gratifying to see this video. Brings back many memories.
Planning on an update to this great video, about the new discoveries about Pulaski?
You need to explore the awesomeness of the Polish winged hussars
Thank you!! I loved everything about this presentation! ✊🇺🇸🇵🇱
Well now, that's a right good story about Casimir Pulaski. A great follow-on would be about Ed Pulaski, the Pulaski, the USFS and an American hero worth remembering...
Thank You for making video about this topic! Only little nitpick I would have is that the term "empire" could maybe apply to the Polish-Lithuanian state only in a non-literal sense, as a great multi-ethnic state covering a large area of the Central/Eastern Europe, but it's rulers never used the tittle of emperor.
Another Polish volunteer, who took part in the American Revolution was Tadeusz Kościuszko, arguably more significant than Pułaski, and certainly more significant for Polish and overall European history.
Yet he sadly seems to be even less known in the US than Pułaski, maybe because of his difficult name, or people finding a military engineer less interesting than a cavalry commander (although beside engineering, Kościuszko also commanded troops in combat).
Artur M. That is a great point. Kościuszko’s role in the American revolution is very much under appreciated.
AMEN.
The city of Chicago has a park named in his honor. "Dedicated in 1916, Kosciuszko Park takes its name from Polish patriot Thadeuz Kosciuszko (1756-1817).".
Growing up in Buffalo, the Pulaski Day parade was a pretty big event for some of us. My scout troop marched in it every year. Pulaski & Kościuszko are commonly known names here, can't say if most folks know why though.
You rarely find guys like Pulaski, anymore.
So this is one of my catch up videos of the history guy. I'm from western N.Y., Which buffalo has a strong polish background. I never understood the hype behind Pulaski until now. Thank you history guy!
Thanks.
I'd never heard of him - I'll never forget him.
I once lived in Savannah, GA and visited Ft. Pulaski. Some years later and unrelated I lived in Chicago and enjoyed a Pulaski Day off. Never knew why - until now.
Thanks for sharing...
Another History home run !
Thanks History Guy team !
We have a Pulaski park in south Omaha, in the old Polish neighborhood. I learned about Pulaski from my good friend, who is a local historian and Polish. He'll be tickled by your video. ;)
There's a statue to him inside Patterson Park in Baltimore, MD. As well as Route 40 being called, "Pulaski Highway".
Wonderful presentation. Thank you, sir
What a wonderful American. I’m grateful for his service and sacrifice. Thank you for sharing his story with those of us who have never heard of him. It’s a shame he is so forgotten.
wow! this is an incredibly powerful story! thank you for the elucidation!
Casimir Pulaski High School is a public high school located on 2500 W Oklahoma Ave in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Now I know why they call it the Pulaski Bridge. Not a word about it in NY or NJ. Great stuff. Keep it coming.
Thanks History Guy!!!!
As a boy, I attended Casimir Pulaski Elementary School in Savannah, Georgia. We were taught that he was a hero, but this clip was very useful in understanding him better.
Chicago native and musician Andrew Bird did an album called "Pulaski at Night." Seems not everybody has forgotten who Polaski was!
I worked fire crew camp wood walnut Creek dist. Yavapai County. I drive a sheriff's car and the trunk is full of radios fire tents shovels gloves air masks rescue equipment and guns.But the main stay of our equipment is the Pulaski. A double bladed pick hoe kind of tool made for handling brush and branches and starting a fire line in the dirt. The Pulaski has saved millions of lives over the century of its use in forest conservation and us rangers salute you Mr. Pulaski where ever you are. To cap off the heads up I will add a personal experience. I was a hundred miles an hour to phx from Prescott. In an unmarked car. I saw 5 men hitchhiking out of Cordes Jct. I stopped . So the six of us are headed for phx and not to far down a lightning strike had set the meridian on fire. So I deputized 5 temporary rangers and passed out Pulaski's . Took ten minutes and we were on our way. I was the first to spot the Battle fire. Almost lost the town on that one. I was doing roadblocks. Because I was so big the hiway patrol called to tell me if I gained 30 pounds they could use me as a full time roadblock. I had to pass as I had a job on an Alaskan ship baiting hooks that paid fabulous money as an apprentice baiter I was making $70k that season . But after the first week I did so well they increased me to a full 100k as a master baiter....pah dump.
Great History Lesson. I enjoyed it immensely. I always think of Pulaski Skyway in New Jersey when I hear the name
I used to live on Monterey Square in downtown Savannah, GA of which its centerpiece is a monument to the great Casimir Pulaski. I was there in 1996 when the monument was getting a much needed repair after 140 plus years of weathering. Remains of a body were exhumed beneath the monument but DNA analysis has been inconclusive although the skeletal remains including certain fractures do match known battle wounds suffered by Pulaski in life. There's also a story that a recently dead corps matching Pulaski's measurements was interred beneath the monument when it was built in 1847 although I can't imagine why. Anyway, thanks for this great video!
Thank you, I feel Casimir doesn't get enough credit for his actions. He is truly an American hero and deserves to be remembered.
Thanks for sharing History Guy. I now know why I've seen the name Pulaski in so many places that I have been in while traveling throughout America. Great guy. Memory Eternal, General Pulaski, Memory Eternal.
Another great lesson, Thank You.
Outstanding, as always! You should do episodes on Baron von Steuben, Lighthorse Harry Lee, and Francis Marion. Keep up the good work and God bless you, sir!
Francis Marion, the Swamp Fox, played by Leslie Nielsen in the Disney series, and the basis for the title character of "The Patriot", the Mel Gibson film...
I love your channel. I cant stop watching video after video. I cant tell you how many hours I have passed learning from you! Tyvm!
Born & raised in Pulaski County AR thanks for the education on the man behind the name. As always thanks for another great ride through history, well researched & exceptionally well told.
you make history live. keep up the fine work. i look forward to every episode
Thanks for the insight into this great American Hero. I live in Washington PA, there is a Pulaski club in our town. I have always wanted to know about it's name. Thanks again.
Also remembered by his USN namesake, USS Casimir Pulaski, SSBN-633.
I studied History in High School and a little in University. If only I had had a teacher half as enthusiastic as you. Another great video!
I'm happy to have been educated on Casimir Pulaski. A name I should've known.
Glad to see a one second clip of a plaque recognizing the General Pulaski Skyway in NJ. For what it's worth, it is the longest viaduct of its kind in the world. Doubt it is taught in school, as it was when I went to school, how the "skyway" got its name. Today, it is only called the "skyway." As least when I was a child, it was referred to as the "Pulaski Skyway."
This is so freaky, I was just talking with my family yesterday about something going on in Pulaski County, Kentucky. It was notable because there is a town called Pulaski not far from where I live and we were momentarily confused about where the event was at. Then we wondered who Pulaski was. My brother knew he was a military hero but that was the end off the conversation. Then today this video comes up in my recommendations! How crazy is that!
Never heard of this guy (or if I did, I forgot), but I'm seeing plenty of stuff named after him during my stay in Jacksonville. Thanks to you, I know who he was!
Omg you guys in USA got so much problem with history of your own country. It is just unbelievable!!!
The USA is larger than all of Europe, you understand...
Russia is the largest country in the world and they don't have a problem with learn their own history. This problem have only America and Germany (Germany because they do everything to cheat their history and told that they didn't start ww2 and holocaust is Poles fault not nazi german) But why America didn't learn they history i dont know.
You went a way too far, with your conclusion about Russians' proper knowledge of their own history, where 90% is still there a former Soviet propaganda !!!! :o(( I really feel sorry for Russians.
But they know that propaganda perfectly. Americans can't learn even latest history.
There is a PULASKI HIGHWAY in Delaware. I assumed he had something to do with our Revolution. Thank you for providing the history.
Wow, thank you HIstory Guy, I'm grateful to you and your crew for the history that you provide to all of us.
I just recently retired and was spending time on UA-cam just passing time when I came across your site,
I have since been reviewing many of your older videos and learning so much of this worlds history.
Thanks again and keep up the good work you do.
